Equipment

Medium mixing bowl
Small baking sheet (+ parchment paper)
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

¼ cup oat flour
3 tablespoon protein powder (use tablespoons, not scoops), I used the vanilla pea protein powder from Orgain
1 tablespoon brown sugar you can omit if your protein powder is sweetened
2 tablespoon peanut butter
2 tablespoon plant milk I used oat milk
1 tablespoon vegan chocolate chips I used mini chocolate chips from Enjoy Life

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (a mini toaster oven is perfect for that!) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, add the oat flour, protein powder and brown sugar and stir to combine.
Add the peanut butter and milk, then stir to combine. You will have to press on the dough with the back of a spoon or a spatula to help it come together. The dough will appear crumbly and even a little dry at this point, this is normal.
Add the chocolate chips and keep stirring/pressing on the dough. Then, use your hands and fingers to bring the cookie dough into one large ball of dough directly into the bowl. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Shape into a large disc of about ¾ inch thick and about 4-4.5 inches wide. Sprinkle some coarse sea salt over if desired. Bake for 7 minutes, then let the cookie cool down for about 5-10 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

This recipe makes for a pretty large cookie, which can be enough for 2 people or only for you, if you feel like having a big snack!
The cookie will still be quite soft when you just take it out of the oven. Let it cool down first before enjoying it, which will allow it to firm up a bit.
A mini toaster oven works perfectly for this one-portion cookie recipe!
Feel free to double or triple the recipe to make more than one cookie.
