A single-serve, high-protein, chewy and chocolatey monster cookie perfect for a quick snack or post-workout treat, delivering 21 grams of protein and made with wholesome ingredients.

  • Total Time: 13-15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cookie 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill Protein Oats (or regular rolled oats or quick oats)
  • 1 scoop unflavored Equip Foods grass-fed beef isolate protein powder (or any unflavored protein powder; vanilla-flavored protein powder can be used but yields a cakier texture)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (or natural almond or cashew butter)
  • 1 tablespoon real maple syrup (avoid pancake syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate Gems or Enjoy Life chips recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Unreal Snack Chocolate Candy Gems (optional, for color and extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine protein oats, protein powder, and baking powder.
  3. Add natural peanut butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until a thick, well-blended batter forms; the dough may be slightly sticky depending on protein powder used.
  4. Fold in dark chocolate chips and chocolate candy gems evenly into the batter.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to place the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Press down gently with your palm or the scoop’s back to shape as cookies do not spread much during baking.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cookie is set and edges are golden.
  7. If the cookie feels soft when removed from the oven, chill in the fridge for about 5 minutes to firm up rather than baking longer to avoid dryness.
  8. Enjoy warm or cooled.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter with oils to ensure moist and soft dough; avoid peanut butter powders or very dry nut butters., Grass-fed beef isolate protein powder offers chewy texture and crisp edges; other protein powders (whey, plant) result in softer, cakier cookies but still taste good., Refrigerating the cookie briefly after baking if soft helps firm it without drying., Can substitute rolled oats or quick oats for the protein oats, adjusting for desired cookie texture., Real maple syrup is essential for moisture and natural sweetness; avoid pancake syrup., Store any leftovers in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 2 days to maintain moisture and freshness.
