Flourless PB Cookies

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place oats, protein powder, and freeze-dried strawberries (if using) into a small bowl and stir to combine.
• In a separate bowl, mix together peanut butter, applesauce, and honey.
• Pour the wet peanut butter mixture over the dry mixture and stir well. This may take a bit of stirring, and the mixture will likely seem crumbly. If it’s too crumbly, use your hands to knead the dough and add an extra tablespoon of applesauce to moisten if needed.
• Once fully combined, form the dough into 1-inch balls (16-20 balls total).
• Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, press each one down into a cookie shape using a fork, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge for immediate consumption, or freeze for later.
