Ingredients

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional mix-ins:

1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in protein powder, oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Add milk or water if it’s too dry, or extra oats if it’s too sticky.

  4. Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or seeds.

  5. Shape the Cookies: Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, and flatten slightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

  6. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden and the center is soft.

  7. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
