How to Make It
Alright, let’s whip up a little magic with this Single Serve Protein Oatmeal Cookie. Grab your trusty mixing bowl and toss in 1/2 cup (45g) of rolled oats, along with 1 teaspoon (5g) of peanut flour or whichever nut flour tickles your fancy.
Add a generous tablespoon (15g) of peanut butter or any nut butter that makes your heart sing—because, honestly, nut butter makes everything better. Now, for that sneaky little boost of sweetness and a touch of decadence, chop up one square (10g) of dark chocolate and throw it in. If you’re feeling fancy, a pinch of cinnamon can join the party too, but no pressure—it’s totally optional.
Give everything a good mix, then grease a 4-5 inch ramekin with a bit of coconut oil (because nobody wants a cookie stuck to their dish—unless you like a sticky situation). Scoop your oatmeal concoction into the ramekin and press it down evenly with the back of a teaspoon. This is your moment to channel your inner cookie sculptor.
Pop it into the microwave on high and nuke it for about 1.5 to 2 minutes. If you’re all about that gooey, soft cookie vibe, aim for the shorter end of that timer spectrum. Voilà! You’ve got yourself a warm, protein-packed cookie that’s ready to be devoured—no oven, no fuss, just pure plant-powered yum.
To make sure you’re covering all your nutritional bases, consider adding a vegan protein source to complement this treat.
