Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder (or sub in desired flavor)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients:
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or natural peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
Add-ins:
- 1/2 cup favorite mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix oats, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mash the banana and mix it with the egg, almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), and milk until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until everything is well combined. Fold in your favorite mix-ins.
- Scoop cookie mixture onto the baking sheet, about a tablespoon or so per cookie, and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Let them cool before serving. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- The nutritional values do not include the add-ins, as it will vary depending on which ingredients you decide to add.
- Only use fully (or over) ripe bananas. You want the extra sweetness and moisture only spotty or brown bananas can offer.
