Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder thoroughly. Crack the eggs into the mixture and stir until a consistent dough forms.
  2. Shape the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the sheet and shape them into cookie rounds.
  3. Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
  4. Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use a protein powder flavor that complements your taste preference, such as vanilla or chocolate.
  • For added sweetness, consider mixing in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Optional add-ins like nuts, seeds, or dried fruits can enhance texture and flavor.
