Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup plant-based protein powder
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chocolate plant-based yogurt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, plant-based protein powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, and chocolate plant-based yogurt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough mixture to evenly distribute them without breaking the chips.
- Portion the Dough: Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough into balls. You can also press them slightly to form traditional cookie shapes.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the shaped cookie dough balls or cookies onto a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy these cookies straight from the fridge as a delicious protein-packed snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best freshness.
Notes
- Make sure to use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats may result in a less chewy cookie.
- For an allergen-free version, substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter.
- If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of oats or protein powder to adjust consistency.
- Mini chocolate chips provide the best bite-size chocolate bites; regular chips can also be chopped finely as an alternative.
- These cookies are best eaten chilled and will keep fresh in the fridge for up to one week.
