Ingredients

Scale

1 scoop protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
½ cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)
1 cup oats (rolled or quick)
3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt (optional)

Optional Add-Ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut.

Instructions

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well-blended.
Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the protein powder, oats, and a pinch of sea salt if desired. Mix until a dough forms.
Adjust Consistency: If the dough is too dry, add a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) or a bit more honey. If too sticky, add extra oats or protein powder.
Shape Cookies: Scoop about 1–2 tablespoons of dough into your hands, roll into balls, and gently flatten into cookie shapes on a parchment-lined tray.
Chill: Place cookies in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Nut-Free: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Vegan: Replace honey with maple syrup or agave, and use plant-based protein powder.
Crunchy Twist: Add chopped nuts, seeds, or puffed cereal for extra texture.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
