Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky) Choose your favorite type.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to preference.
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (ensure it is Halal-certified)
  • 1/2 cup milk or almond milk Use any milk of choice.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional) For added sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), protein powder, milk (or almond milk), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
  3. If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture.
  4. Spoon equal portions of the mixture into the muffin tin cups, packing the oats down slightly for a perfect cup shape.
  5. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
  6. Allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes

Customize your ingredients by substituting peanut butter with almond butter for a nut-free option. Control the sweetness by adjusting the honey or maple syrup. Keep an eye on the baking time as every oven is different.
