Ingredients

2 large ripe bananas mashed
⅓ cup natural peanut butter or nut butter of choice like almond cashew or sunflower seed butter
2 cups rolled oats gluten-free if necessary
2 scoops whey protein powder Naked Whey Protein Powder recommended
1 tablespoon chia seeds
⅛ cup coconut oil melted
⅛ cup honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
¼ cup chocolate chips dairy-free if desired
¼ cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and liquid.
Add the peanut butter, rolled oats, and protein powder to the mashed bananas and stir until evenly combined.
For a more flavorful cookie, add the chia seeds, melted coconut oil, honey, chocolate chips, raisins, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well.
Use a small cookie scoop to shape the dough into 20 cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie to about ½ inch thick using the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until set and the bottoms begin to brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before transferring to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

These protein oatmeal cookies are perfect for meal prep, quick grab-and-go snacks, or a satisfying breakfast. They're gluten-free, and you can swap out ingredients like peanut butter for almond butter if preferred.
