Ingredients

  • 2 Scoops Whey Protein vanilla flavor
  • 1 Cup Quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 Cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1 and 1/2 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut oil melted
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 Cup Honey
  • ½ Cup Milk or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the protein powder, oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the coconut oil, vanilla, egg, and honey.
  • Stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into 12 equal sized cookies. Place the cookies on the cookie sheet 2 inches apart; you may have to bake in batches.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are browned. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then serve.

Notes

  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving.
  • Oatmeal: you may use quick oats or rolled oats.
  • Flour: we used whole wheat flour. You may use gluten-free or any other flour of choice.
  • Oil: instead of butter to make these oatmeal cookies, use coconut oil or any other oil like olive oil.
  • Sugar: no refined sugar is needed to make these cookies. You may use either honey or maple syrup.
  • Be sure to chill the cookie dough in the fridge.
  • Protein: we used whey protein but you can use a plant-based protein powder instead.
