Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
½ cup natural peanut butter
¼ cup maple syrup 
¼ cup vegan protein powder 
¼ cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon 
¼ teaspoon sea salt 
¼ cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Take a cookie sheet and use a Silpat or lightly grease and set it aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or use a medium bowl and electric mixer, add all the ingredients but the chocolate chips and mix until combined well. Then add your chocolate chips and stir.
Scoop out dough and roll it into small balls. Place balls on a prepared baking sheet, and flatten slightly or keep them in the ball shape (this is what I did)
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes.
Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Notes

Storing- These protein powder cookies are best stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days. You can also store them in the fridge, but I prefer them at room temperature.

Freezing- Let the cookies come to room temperature before placing them in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 6 months. Let them defrost on the counter before enjoying them.

Expert Tips and Tricks

- These cookies don't spread at all, so if you want them to spread, you're going to have to push them down with the palm of your hand, and the bake time may be slightly shorter.

- Don't let this recipe sit around; the oats will absorb the liquid and potentially be dry.

- Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop for even cookies.
