Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup almond flour

½ cup peanut butter (or any nut butter of choice)

⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

¼ cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

¼ cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon sea salt

1 large egg or flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water)

Instructions

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

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg (or flax egg) until smooth and creamy.

Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixtures together until well combined. The dough should be thick.

Add Nuts and Chocolate: Stir in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips or cacao nibs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork or your fingers.

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Cool Down: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your nutritious Protein-Packed Breakfast Cookies as a quick breakfast, on-the-go snack, or healthy treat!
