Yield
12 cookies

Ingredients

1 cup Rolled Oats 1/2 cup Protein Powder (vanilla or chocolate) 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts (walnuts or almonds) 1/4 cup Seeds (chia, flax, or pumpkin seeds) 1/2 cup Nut Butter (peanut, almond, or your choice) 1/2 cup Honey or Maple Syrup 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (optional) pinch Salt

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chopped nuts, seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir to distribute everything evenly. 2. Add in the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or spatula, making sure the wet ingredients are fully incorporated and form a thick, sticky dough. 3. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips until just combined. 4. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into balls or press gently into round, cookie-like shapes. 5. Place the formed cookies on a parchment-lined plate or tray. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set. 6. Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or enjoy right away for a soft, gooey treat!

Notes

For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or nut butter if too crumbly.
