Serving size
Ingredients
- 1 Ideal Protein Oatmeal packet
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1 packet of Splenda or Stevia
- A sprinkle of cinnamon – to taste
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Enough water for cookie dough texture
Preparation
Start by combining the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the Ideal Protein Oatmeal packet, sea salt, baking powder, sweetener (Splenda or Stevia), and a sprinkle of cinnamon to taste. Stir everything together until well mixed for an even distribution of flavors.
Step 2
Now, add the egg white and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Slowly add water, stirring a little at a time as you go. The goal is to reach a cookie dough-like consistency. You want the dough to be thick enough to hold its shape when placed on the baking sheet but not too watery.
Step 3
Lightly spray a cookie sheet with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the dough and place them on the cookie sheet, making about 10 cookies. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon to help them bake evenly.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 6-9 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges turn golden brown, and the centers are firm.
Step 5
Test the center of one cookie with a toothpick to make sure the cookies are baked. If it comes out clean, they’re done! Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 6
Once the oat cookies have cooled, they’re ready to be enjoyed! These homemade oatmeal protein cookies are perfect as a quick snack or a light dessert.
