Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter Can substitute with almond or cashew butter for different flavors.
  • 3-4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk Coconut milk or regular dairy milk can work as alternatives.
  • 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil Use olive oil if you want to skip the coconut taste.
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract Optional; enhances the overall flavor.
  • 50 g flavorless collagen protein powder Use whey or plant-based protein if that suits your dietary preference.
  • 1 cup organic gluten-free quick oats Rolled oats can also work if preferred.
  • 6 tbsp sugar-free brown sugar alternative Coconut sugar or maple syrup can be great alternatives.
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder Carob powder can substitute for a caffeine-free alternative.
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt Optional; enhances the flavors of the sweet ingredients.
  • 3 tbsp dairy-free chocolate chips Optional; swap with chopped nuts or dried fruits for a different texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt together the peanut butter, unsweetened almond milk, and coconut oil. Stir until well combined.
  2. Remove from heat and add the collagen protein powder and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  3. Next, add the quick oats, sugar alternative, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until fully combined.
  4. If you'd like to include chocolate chips, fold them in at this point.
  5. Using rounded tablespoons, scoop the mixture out onto a parchment-lined half baking sheet, shaping them into cookies.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 20 minutes until the cookies are set.
  7. After chilling, remove from the fridge and enjoy!

Notes

Store your cookies in an airtight container in the fridge. They'll keep fresh for about a week. These cookies freeze well too! Just layer them between parchment paper in an airtight container.
