Ingredients
•
2 cups quick-cooking oats (such as Robin Hood®)
•
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (such as President's Choice®)

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Combine oats, chocolate chips, sugar, protein powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Add peanut butter, one egg, and vanilla; mix well. Mix in remaining egg, then knead until dough is thick and sticky.

Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Using your palm, slightly flatten cookies.

Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms and edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
