Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup oats instant or quick
- 1/4 cup protein powder vanilla or unflavored
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter creamy or crunchy
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, oats, protein powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- Warm the peanut butter until it becomes smoother and easier to mix. You can do this in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Add the warmed peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a little more peanut butter until it comes together.
- Using your hands, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball onto a lined baking sheet or plate.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to form a cookie shape. If desired, you can press a fork into the top of each cookie to create a traditional crisscross pattern.
- Once all cookies are shaped, place the baking sheet or plate in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Notes
- If desired, melt some dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle or dip each cookie into the melted chocolate, then return them to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set. Once the chocolate has hardened, your Healthy Peanut Butter No Bake Protein Cookies are ready to enjoy!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
