Cups - Metric

Instructions

  • Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl add coconut oil, peanut butter, syrup, and cocoa powder. Stir and heat in the microwave for 20 seconds.Repeat until the ingredients are melted together and thoroughly heated, but not boiling.
    Coconut oil, coco powder, peanut butter and other ingredients are in a mixing bowl.
  • Stir in protein powder, oats, and coconut. Stir in chocolate chips.
    Coconut flakes are being poured into a mixing bowl with other ingredients, including chocolate protein powder.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded cookie balls onto prepared baking sheets.
  • You can eat the cookies as soon as they're cool enough to handle, but I like to put the pan in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the chocolate set.

Notes

Protein Powder

If your protein powder has an aftertaste, you may want to reduce the quantity to 1/3 cup. This recipe is based on protein powder that is sweetened with zero-calorie sweetener. If yours is not sweetened, you may want to increase the syrup to 2 tablespoons.

Oats

I recommend using quick oats. If you use old-fashioned oats, run them through a few pulses with a food processor or blender first.
