Decoration Tips:
- The final sprinkle of sea salt not only enhances the flavors but also adds a touch of gourmet elegance.

- A few chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cacao nibs before the chocolate sets can introduce an enjoyable crunch and a professional bakery-like look.
For the Cookie:
- 3 tablespoons of oats
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon of protein powder
- 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
Directions:
- Combine all cookie ingredients in a bowl until a cohesive dough forms. Shape the dough into a cookie form and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 12 minutes. Allow cooling for 5 minutes after baking.
For the Peanut Butter Layer:
- 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter, mixed with just enough oat milk to achieve a spreadable consistency (or substitute with 2 tablespoons of regular creamy peanut butter)
Spread: Apply an even layer of peanut butter over the cooled cookie.
For the Chocolate Layer:
- 1 square of dark chocolate
- 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil
Final Touch: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together (microwave works well), then smoothly spread it over the peanut butter layer. Embellish with a sprinkle of sea salt for a flavor boost and decorative flair.
