and they have been super filling. Kept refrigerated, the cookies should be good up to a week.
No Bake Energy Cookies
A healthier and energy filled sweet treat
Makes about 24 cookies
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Set Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
1 cup old fashion or steel cut oats
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup ground flaxseed
1/3 cup white chocolate chunks (finely chopped)
1/4 cup protein powder
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1/3 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
Directions:
- Line a couple of large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Grind the flax seed. A coffee grinder would be ideal for this, but I used a food processor/blender. It took a little more patience and stirring but still worked well.
- Combine the oats, peanut butter, honey, flax seed, white chocolate, and protein powder. You could also add dried fruit or nuts.
- in a separate bowl, mix together the chopped almonds and chocolate chips
- Roll the dough into a ball and flatten into a cookie shape. Dip into chocolate-almond mixture and place on parchment paper.
- refrigerate 1 hour and enjoy!
If the oat concoction isn't sticking together very well, try adding more peanut butter.
