Description
These banana protein cookies are chewy, with a muffin top like texture and are made in one bowl. They require no chilling, are easy to make and have 8 grams of protein per cookie.
Ingredients
½ cup mashed banana about 2 ripe bananas
▢
⅓ cup brown sugar
▢
1 egg
▢
¼ cup almond or peanut butter
▢
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢
½ cup oat flour
▢
½ cup vanilla protein powder
▢
½ teaspoon baking soda
▢
½ teaspoon cinnamon
▢
½ teaspoon salt
▢
½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mash the banana really well and measure out 1/2 cup. Add to a medium mixing bowl.
Whisk in the sugar, egg, nut butter and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Add in all remaining ingredients aside from the chocolate chips and mix well, then fold in the chocolate.
Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
The dough can get sticky, so sometimes it’s helpful to grease the cookie scoop.
Press on a few extra chocolate chips. The cookies won’t spread a ton while baking, so you can flatten them lightly with your finger tips if you want them a bit thinner.
Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges are just golden brown. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Let cool for at least 20 minutes before enjoying. I like a sprinkle of flaky salt on top!
