Healthy No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Cookies

May 30, 2018 by Emily Hill 1 Comment

 

These healthy no bake cookies aren’t packed with ingredients (only peanut butter, maple syrup, oatmeal, and vanilla protein) but they ARE packed with tons of yummy flavor! They’re as irresistible as they are easy!

I recently posted one of my all-time favorite recipes for crunchy peanut butter no-bake cookies. Honestly, I can’t make these no bake cookies very often because I can easily eat the entire batch before my kids get home from school.

If only they were healthy no bake cookies, then I wouldn’t feel so dang guilty eating three or four at a time. *sigh*

But guess what? I’ve found a recipe for healthy no bake cookies that I tweaked so it was more of a recipe for healthy no bake protein cookies. That means I can actually feel good if I eat more than one…

These healthy no bake peanut butter oatmeal protein cookies have ONLY FOUR ingredients and they’re all ingredients you probably have on hand. I’m talking peanut butter, maple syrup, rolled oats, and vanilla protein powder.

Okay, maybe you don’t have maple syrup on hand, but I tried using honey in this recipe for healthy no bake cookies and they didn’t turn out at all. But perhaps you might have better luck?

Speaking of luck, you’ll for sure want to use a medium cookie dough scoop when making these protein cookies. It makes shaping them so much easier. You can use a spoon and your hands to form the dough, but they seem to set best if you use a cookie dough scoop.

The great thing about these healthy no bake protein cookies is they double as a dessert and a healthy snack! I’m not sure if that means you can have at least two a day, but that’s what I’m telling myself.

I’ve thought of trying a version of healthy no bake cookies that uses chocolate protein powder instead of the vanilla. I think I’ll have to do it later this week since my family seems to think they can eat the current batch of peanut butter oatmeal no bake protein cookies in the fridge!
