So I made a happy accident with these cookies! Given that I had oat flour on hand and thought I could sub 1:1, I quickly realized I couldn’t! I, however, did not modify the recipe much, and have made them with vanilla and chocolate protein powder and both were a hit! I even substituted the brown sugar for coconut sugar! All I did was double everything BUT the sugar ( my protein powder is sweet enough for my pallet). I used almond milk as my liquid and melted the coconut oil, and added a few chocolate chips to the tops of my cookies to make them look professional! All in all my go-to protein sweet-tooth fix!

In reply to Janet B.. I'm glad you liked the cookies. Thanks for letting us know that you liked it with walnuts. Maybe some of my readers will want to try it that way too.

Great recipe! I did add a handful of walnuts to the food processor. Delicious!

In reply to Mandie. I'm so glad you found a way to make the recipe work for you in a higher altitude. Thanks for sharing the changes you made - it might help someone else in a higher altitutde.

These are so good! I didn’t have a food processor, so I just mixed them up. I whisked 1 egg + a splash of vanilla into the milk just so things would hold better since I couldn’t process it the dough and because I’m in a higher altitude the extra liquid helps.

Protein Powder used was LadyBoss.

I also added some lily’s chocolate chips as well, and it gave the cookie a Samoa flavor!

I will definitely make these again!

Oh and baking time was increased to 13 minutes for me.

Sounds like a healthy version of a cookie. Keep making more recipes like this! 👍

In reply to Jan S.. I haven't tried it, but you should be able to since oat flour is just ground oats. If anything, the cookies should come out smoother. A direct substitution (one cup for one cup) is what I would use.

Can I use oat flour in place of quick oats? If so, how much oat flour?

In reply to Vio. You can leave them out. It changes the texture but not the consistency.

Hi!
Thank you so much for your recipe!
Do I have to use the coconut flakes? I really don’t like them….thanks!

In reply to Marie. Oats are already gluten-free so definitely yes. The difference between those marked "gluten-free" and regular is that gluten-free oats are prepared and packaged in facilities where cross-contamination isn't a concern (important to those with severe gluten allergies and sensitivities).

Can you use gluten free oats instead of regular

In reply to Laura. LOL, cookie dough is always my downfall too so your comment made me laugh. Awesome idea to use it as granola! I may have to play with that. They carry Vega at both my local Walmart and local Target so check there if you don't want to order online. :-)
