Tired of eating those protein cookies that you buy at the store and taste like chalk? Yeah....us to! So we set out to create a recipe that not only tasted delicious, but was also good for you.
These cookies are the perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter - add some flakey sea salt on top, and we promise you won't be able to eat just one!
Ingredients
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (or chocolate)
1/4 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 tsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp coconut oil (lightly melted)
2 large eggs 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp oat milk (or any other dairy free milk)
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
Mix the protein powder, flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder together in a large bowl
In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut oil, eggs, vanilla, maple syrup, and peanut butter
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until loosely combined
Add in oat milk, and continue mixing until well combined
Use a spoon (or your hands) to form cookies on an oiled baking sheet (or baking sheet lined with parchment paper)
Slightly flatten the tops of each cookie
Bake for 10-12 minutes
Enjoy!
Notes:
Baking on parchment paper is preferred for the best results
Bake for 9-10 minutes for a slightly under-baked, gooey cookie
Bake for 11-12 minutes for a thicker, chewy cookie
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or freeze for up to 3 months!

Welcome to Happy. Nourished. Well!
I'm Sadie, the mastermind behind all the delicious and nourishing recipes you'll find here.

Growing up in Central Texas and being someone who did not particularly enjoy eating meat, I was quickly labeled a "picky eater" as a child. But that couldn't be any further from the truth!
​​
After experimenting with food, I discovered my love for fresh ingredients, and now I can't get enough! The farmers market is my happy place, and if I have any spare time during the week, you can almost always find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe.
​
Trust me, there's nothing better than the flavors, textures, and colors of freshly made food. So, let's have some fun and try out a recipe or two!
