Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the baking sheet and flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or a fork.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are firm to the touch and slightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
