Banana Protein Power Cookies with Chocolate Candies are the perfect treat for anyone looking to indulge in a sweet snack while still staying on track with their fitness goals. These cookies are not just delicious but also packed with protein, making them an excellent choice for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert option. Below is a simple guide to making these delightful cookies.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Use a short spray of cooking oil to lightly grease a baking sheet. Alternatively, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to thoroughly mash the bananas until smooth.
- Add the almond butter to the mashed bananas. Stir until fully combined.
- Add the whey protein powder and coconut flour to the bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated and a dough forms.
- Fold the chocolate candies into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Banana Protein Power Cookies as a nutritious snack or post-workout treat!
Tips:
- Make sure the bananas are ripe for easier mashing and natural sweetness.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors and nutrients.
- Keep an eye on the cookies while baking to avoid overcooking; they should be slightly soft in the center when taken out of the oven.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of protein powder and nut butters to suit your taste and dietary needs.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack for the best texture.
Enjoy your Banana Protein Power Cookies with Chocolate Candies fresh out of the oven or store them in an airtight container for later. These cookies are a fantastic way to satisfy your sweet tooth while providing your body with essential nutrients and protein. Happy baking!
