Ingredients
- 70 grams (¾ cup) oat flour sub with rolled oats or almond flour
- 70 grams (¾ cup) protein powder see notes*
- 120 grams (½ cup) nut butter peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter
- 80 grams (⅓ cup) maple syrup or honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine oat flour with protein powder, maple syrup and nut butter. Stir well until you get a soft dough, first with a fork and then using your hands. If it is necessary, adjust the dough with more oat flour or with a drop of milk (this depends on the protein powder used, see notes*).
Shape the cookies and place over a baking tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
This no bake protein cookie recipe can be prepared with either whey protein powder, vegan protein powder or casein. Depending on your choice you may need to fix the dough with additional nut butter, or a drop of milk if it is too thick or with additional oats in case it is too wet. As a rule of thumb:
- Vegan protein powder and casein absorb plenty of moisture. You will probably need to mix in a drop of extra milk.
- Whey protein powder dissolves easily. If necessary, fix the dough with additional oat flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
