Packed with fiber and protein, they’re a great post-workout snack or a wholesome breakfast option. With just a few simple ingredients, these cookies are easy to make and are perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a guilt-free, nutritious snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more applesauce or water to reach a cookie dough consistency.
  • Fold in the dark chocolate chips, if using.
  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet and flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can customize these cookies by adding nuts, dried fruits, or seeds for added texture and flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based protein powder and substitute the honey with maple syrup.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
