Peanut Butter Banana Oat Protein Cookies

• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 medium very ripe bananas

1 cup old fashioned oats (or quick oats, check labels for gluten-free)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I like Orgain)

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch kosher salt

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup peanut butter (or nut butter, or seed butter)

¼ cup sugar free chocolate chips (such as Lily's)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment or silicon baking mats.

Move oven racks to the second from top and second from bottom slots.

In a medium bowl, mash the bananas.

Add the oats, protein powder, egg, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, and peanut butter and chocolate chips and mix with a fork until combined.

Scoop ¼ cup of mixture and place on a baking sheet, flatten the top slightly with the back of the measuring cup. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding 4 cookies to each sheet.

Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, rotating pans ½ through bake time to allow for even browning.

Allow to cool 5 minutes on the pan then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
