Oatmeal Protein Cookies with Cranberries

These healthy protein oatmeal cookies have smart carbs, healthy fats, and some protein—what’s not to love? They take only 10 minutes to whip up and have just 6 ingredients!

I’ll be enjoying these post-workout for the next few days for sure, and maybe try them as a sweet breakfast treat! Pro-tip: one of the best times to indulge in some great carbs is right after a workout.

And this week is special because you can check out the video recipe as I talk through the difference between rolled and steel cut oats, where the majority of the calories are coming from in this protein cookie, and why I don’t recommend you make your own nut butter. :o)
