Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Old-Fashioned Oats
- 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1/3 cup Plant-Based Protein Powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Nut Butter (plant-based)
- 1/3 cup Maple Syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
Optional Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (plant-based)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the oats, chopped nuts, chia seeds, and plant-based protein powder to ensure even distribution of the dry components.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the nut butter (plant-based), maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar until smooth and fully blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until everything is well coated and begins to stick together. If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips (plant-based) at this stage.
- Form the Cookies: Use a spoon or your hands to shape the dough into small, evenly sized cookies. Place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate, pressing firmly to help them hold their shape better.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow the natural gelling agent from chia seeds to bind everything securely. After chilling, the cookies are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use smooth nut butter (plant-based) for easier mixing and consistent texture.
- Lightly pack oats when measuring for accurate portions.
- Stir thoroughly to ensure even binding, especially when adding chocolate chips or dried fruits.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup (natural) to your preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and chewiness.
