Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups quick-cooking oats (such as Robin Hood®)
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (such as Leanfit® 100% Whey Protein Blend)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Using your palm, slightly flatten cookies.

Step 3

Combine oats, chocolate chips, sugar, protein powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Add peanut butter, one egg, and vanilla; mix well. Mix in remaining egg, then knead until dough is thick and sticky.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms and edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
