No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Protein Cookie Recipes

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE-OATMEAL PROTEIN COOKIE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, add the Splenda, milk, butter, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for one minute, stirring frequently.
• Remove from heat and whisk in peanut butter, protein powder, and vanilla until well mixed. Stir in oats.
• Gently roll (without packing tightly) into golf-ball sizes and drop onto waxed paper. (Or plop down without rolling for a more 'haystack' look.) Allow to set up for 15 minutes. Coat with additional cocoa powder, Whey Low Powdered, finely chopped nuts (almond flour works great for this) or leave plain. Store in an airtight container.
• With Agave: 2 tablespoons butter, 1/3 cup Agave nectar (spray the measuring cup with PAM for a quick release!), 1/4 cup almond milk, 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, Pinch of salt, 1/4 cup peanut butter,1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 2 scoops chocolate protein powder, 2 cups quick oats.
• In a medium saucepan bring the butter, agave, almond milk, cocoa powder, and salt to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and whisk in the peanut butter, vanilla, and protein powder. Stir in the oats. Allow to rest for 5 minutes to become less sticky. Roll into balls, or drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Makes 16 protein cookies.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Add the first six ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan.
• Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat.
• Add peanut butter into the hot mixture and stir until melted.
• Add in vanilla. (almond extract is good also, but I only use 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract).
• Mix in the dry oats until they are completely coated.
• Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper.
• Let cool until set.
• *Please remember that even if you do follow the recipe exactly, it doesn't always turn out just right. I've had these not set up for me or be hard and dry. But most of the time, the recipe is just right. I adjusted the sugar in the recipe by substituting 1/2 cup of white sugar for 1/2 cup brown sugar, this makes them more moist. I have also found that it makes a difference if you use quick cooking oats or old fashioned. In my experience it takes more old fashioned oats than quick cooking and I like the texture of the quick cooking better. When you make it a few hundred times like I have you learn a couple of things:) Also, Chunky peanut butter tends to make them more dry and crumbly.
