No-Bake Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
1 cup salted creamy peanut butter (or other nut butter; add 1/4 teaspoon salt if using unsalted)
1 cup pitted medjool dates (10 to 12)
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup nondairy chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life)
1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts (optional)
Directions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the rolled oats to a food processor, and grind into a powder, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the peanut butter, dates, and beans, and process until a smooth dough forms.
- Using about 2 tablespoons of the dough, roll cookies into balls and flatten them onto the cookie sheet. Use a fork to make the little criss-cross design.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Use a spoon to spread melted chocolate on half of each cookie, then sprinkle with a few chopped peanuts.
- Place the cookies in the fridge so the chocolate can set. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge in an airtight container.
