Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup (30 g / 1.06 oz) rolled oats
  • 1/2 scoop / 15g (0.53 oz) chocolate whey protein powder
  • 1 package sugar-free hot cocoa mix
  • 2 packets Stevia or your preferred sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon (20 ml / 0.7 fl oz) baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon (16 g / 0.56 oz) creamy peanut butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) water or milk of choice
  • If your dough is too crumbly, add a teaspoon of water or unsweetened almond milk at a time until it just comes together. The absorbency of your protein powder can affect the required moisture.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate and peanut butter flavors, or mix in a few sugar-free chocolate chips for an extra decadent treat.
  • For a different flavor profile, try using vanilla or peanut butter flavored protein powder instead of chocolate.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 300°F / 150°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry : rolled oats, protein powder, hot cocoa mix, Stevia, and baking powder until well combined.
  4. Add the peanut butter and 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of water or milk.
  5. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, add more liquid one teaspoon at a time.
  6. Roll the dough into 6 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on each ball with the back of a fork to flatten slightly.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will be soft to the touch but will firm up as they cool.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Do not overbake! These cookies are best when slightly soft in the center. They will firm up significantly as they cool down.
