- 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice
Add-ins

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape the cookie: Form the dough into a cookie shape and place it onto the prepared baking sheet for even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before enjoying to set the texture.
Notes
- This recipe works well with both whey and plant-based protein powders, though texture and flavor may vary.
- For a microwave option, shape the dough into a cookie on a microwave-safe plate and cook for 45 to 60 seconds.
- Use certified gluten-free oat flour to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- Feel free to substitute nut butters and sweeteners to suit dietary preferences.
