1 sauce pan

Ingredients

1 cup all-natural peanut butter
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon oat flour
½ cup chopped peanuts
pinch of salt (if not using salted peanuts)

Instructions

Chop the peanuts and add them to a small plate.
Grab a pot and set the temperature to medium heat. Add maple syrup and peanut butter to the pot and give it a constant stir until everything is combined and creamy and then remove it from the heat.
Add in the dry ingredients (oat flour and protein powder) and mix it all up. *Add a pinch of salt if not using salted peanuts.
Use a cookie scoop to grab 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands.
Roll and press the dough into the peanuts coating the entire top.
Place the Peanut Butter Cookie Poppers into an air-tight container lined with parchment paper and store them in the fridge. Alternatively, you can add plastic wrap to a lined plate.

Notes

Place your freshly made cookie poppers into the fridge for two hours to harden up before enjoying, ideally.

The vegan cookie poppers should last about 7-10 days in the fridge.
