Get a Whole-Food Protein Boost from Quinoa Flakes
Thanks to the peanut butter, there's already protein in these cookies, but this can be boosted if you add some quinoa flakes - a natural protein-rich whole grain that is gluten-free. You can find these flakes in the natural foods section of your grocery store or supermarket.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Cookies (Makes 18 Cookies)
Ingredients:
Method:
1. Line a baking sheet with wax or some parchment paper.
2. Place the peanut butter, banana, and maple syrup in a medium saucepan over a low heat and stir it until it has melted together and is well-combined - 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the quinoa flakes, milk, and salt. Cool the mixture until it's no longer warm - roughly 10 minutes.
4. Stir in the chocolate. Scoop the mixture (using a tablespoon) onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, shape and flatten each scoop into a 1/2-inch-thick round disc. Place in the refrigerator until firm, around 1 hour.
