Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the almond milk, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick cookie dough forms. If opting for chocolate chips and/or nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies feel set to the touch.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
