No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
A healthy cookie, really? Yes, my No Bake Peanut Butter Protein Cookies are simply delicious. Each one of these cookies has 5 grams of protein and is the perfect treat for your sweet tooth. Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Macro friendly.
Servings: 17 -18 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup honey or Monk Fruit Syrup*(See notes)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup all natural peanut butter
- 1/3 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder. Stir together and give it a mix.
- In a small sauce pan combine the almond milk, peanut butter, syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Place on stove top over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once everything is completely dissolved and combined, pour this mixture over the oats and protein powder.
- Mix together with a spoon until combined.
- Place the batter in the fridge for 10 minutes to set. This step is a must to get the perfect size cookies.
- Spoon a dollop of chilled batter onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Form the cookie into desired shape and size.
- Before serving, I suggest adding the pan to the freezer for 10 minutes or so. This will allow them to keep their shape and not fall apart.
- Store any leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Monk Fruit Syrup will work but it will not stick as well as maple syrup.
- These will also freeze up to 3 months if stored in an air tight container. Simply thaw for 10 minutes before serving.
- Store in an air tight container in the fridge. I prefer storing mine in the freezer and thaw when ready to eat. I find that they keep better and hold their shape better in the freezer.
