Peanut Butter Banana Protein Cookies
If you’ve got a couple of overripe bananas sitting on your counter, these high protein peanut butter banana cookies are the perfect way to put them to good use. They’re quick to make, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and loaded with melty chocolate chips for just the right touch of indulgence.
Ingredients
- 2 Bananas Overripe, Medium Size
- ½ Cup Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste OR Vanilla extract
- 1.5 Cups Almond Flour
- ½ Cup Protein Powder Vanilla
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ Cup Chocolate Chips to taste
Instructions
- First, Preheat your oven to 350℉, then gather everything you need. In a large bowl, mash your bananas, add your peanut butter, vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste. Stir.
- On top of the wet mixture, add: almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, chocolate chips. We love to use dark chocolate chips. Mix by hand until everything is nicely combined.
- Grab a baking sheet and some parchment paper and use a cookie scoop, while spacing them out on the cookie sheet. Once the oven has fully pre heated, pop the cookies in and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Depending on the size of your cookies, cooking times may vary a little bit. I make mine small, so they are thoroughly cooked and a little golden around 10-12 minutes. You can eat them warm, but they are also very tasty once they have cooled off and they will be a little more firm.
- Hint: Check them at 10 minutes. Do not let them overcook. They will firm up a bit more as they cool down. Enjoy!
