Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder (about 25g)
- 2 tbsp oat flour (or almond flour)
- 1 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1–2 tbsp milk of choice (add more if dough is too dry)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking tray with parchment paper.

- Add crushed nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of sea salt for variations.
