Instructions
- Preheat to 350°F and line a baking sheet. Stir separated nut butter before measuring.
- Combine oats, nut butter, syrup, optional protein powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly coated and the mixture holds when pressed. Fold in optional chocolate chips.
- Divide into 12 equal portions, flatten on the sheet with space between them, and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set, not wet.
- Let cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes until firm enough to lift, then transfer to a rack. Cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Cool completely before sealing in an airtight container; keep in a cool, dry place for short-term storage.
- Freeze extra cookies in a covered container and thaw before serving.
