Description

Delicious and nutritious Banana Oatmeal High Protein Breakfast Cookies that are perfect for a quick morning meal or a healthy snack. Packed with oats, bananas, peanut butter, and protein powder, these cookies provide sustained energy and are easy to make with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, as needed for consistency)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the natural peanut butter and honey or maple syrup, then mix well to combine these wet ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly, gradually add the milk a little at a time until you achieve a thick cookie dough consistency suitable for scooping.
  5. Fold in Optional Add-ins: Gently fold mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the dough if you are including them for extra texture and flavor.
  6. Scoop and Shape Cookies: Use heaping tablespoons of dough to scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to promote even baking.
  7. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden and the cookies are set.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.

Notes

  • Use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk to make these cookies vegan-friendly.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week to keep them fresh.
  • These cookies are excellent for meal prep and make a convenient grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
