Collagen is part of the makeup of animal bone, cartilage, and skin. Collagen peptides are broken-down pieces of whole collagen and have many benefits when ingested. (source)

Oats: we recommend using quick-cooking oats, but rolled oats work too.

Honey: we like to use honey because it’s an all-natural sweetener.

Mini Chocolate Chips: every cookie dough bite deserves chocolate chips!

Water: water is used to give you that true cookie dough texture!

How to Make Collagen Cookie Dough

All peanut butters and collagen powders are different. So, start small with the water and add more to get the consistency you prefer.

Ingredients

1 cup drippy, all-natural peanut butter
1/2 cup vanilla collagen powder we used Vital Proteins
1 cup quick-cooking oats
3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1-4 tablespoons water*

Instructions

Place peanut butter, collagen powder, rolled oats, honey, and mini chocolate chips into a medium bowl.
Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix the dough together. At this point, begin to add water by the teaspoon. Depending on how drippy your peanut butter is, you'll need to add more or less water*. The water not only helps moisten things so your balls hold shape, but they actually help your balls become less chalky.
Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop a heaping tablespoon into your palms. Roll into balls until all dough is gone. You should get somewhere between 18-20 balls.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
