Print Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup quick oats (40g)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (40g) I used PEScience, about 1 ⅓ scoop
1/4 cup all-purpose (28g) oat or gluten-free flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup brown sugar (48g) I used Truvia
1/4 cup peanut butter (56g)
3 Tbsp light butter (42g)
1.5 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp mini M&M’s (40g)

Instructions

Add the oats, flour, protein powder and salt to a bowl and whisk to combine. Then add the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter and vanilla extract. Mix/mash together with a fork until all the ingredients are combined and you have a ball of dough. It may take a few minutes of mixing, but the dry ingredients will get incorporated. If you find that it’s not, you can always add milk 1/2 tsp at a time until you get a good cookie dough consistency.
Fold in the mini M&M’s at the end.
Freeze for at least 30 minutes before enjoying. Keep stored in freezer. Trust me, if you think it's good mixed just wait till you taste it cold & when it firms up like cookie dough!
I usually don't when I am just making for myself, but if you wish to heat treat your raw flour to ensure food safety, follow the instructions below to heat treat your flour before making this recipe.

Notes

To make gluten-free: use gluten-free flour (like Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur) or oat flour.

To make dairy-free: use dairy-free butter and dairy-free chocolate chips or candies (in place of M&Ms).

How to Heat Treat Flour:

Oven method: preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the flour onto a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
Microwave method: add flour to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments (2-3x) stirring in between to avoid burning.
Check with a thermometer to verify that the temperature is 160-165 degrees F.
Make sure flour is completely cool before using.
