Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup unsalted almond butter
- 1 banana, mashed
- 0.75 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (low sodium)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix together unsalted almond butter, mashed banana, honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
