These delicious Protein Oatmeal Cookies are made with bananas, peanut butter, protein powder, chocolate chips and more. They are a gluten free, filling snack or even a quick breakfast you can simply grab and go.
Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until very smooth and liquid
2 large ripe bananas
To the bananas add the peanut butter, rolled oats, and protein powder. For super simple whey protein cookies, stop here. Mix and shape into cookies. But for better tasting cookies I highly recommend adding the next ingredients too.
⅓ cup natural peanut butter, 2 cups rolled oats, 2 scoops Naked Whey Protein Powder
Also add the chia seeds, melted coconut oil, honey, chocolate chips, raisins, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
1 tablespoon chia seeds, ⅛ cup coconut oil, ⅛ cup honey, ¼ cup chocolate chips, ¼ cup raisins, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Stir everything together with a spatula until well combined. Then shape into 20 cookies and place on the prepared baking sheet. I like to use a small cookie scoop for portioning the dough. Flatten the cookies to about ½ inch (they won't spread while baking) with the back of a spoon.
Now bake the protein oatmeal cookies for about 10-12 minutes until set and the bottoms start to brown.
I like to move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
The protein breakfast cookies will keep at room temperature for about 4-5 days. Store in the fridge for about 1 week. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
*other nut or seed butters like almond, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter can be substituted
