Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cookies from sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the bananas using a fork or a potato masher until they reach a smooth consistency.
Add the multi-grain oatmeal, whey protein powder, raisins, dried coconut meat, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon to form a cookie shape, as these cookies won't spread much during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges and set in the middle.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthy banana protein cookies fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for added sweetness and easier mashing.
- Feel free to substitute whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder if you prefer.
- For a different flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Keep an eye on the cookies while they bake to ensure they don't overcook, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
With these Healthy Banana Protein Cookies, you can enjoy a tasty treat that's also good for you. Easy to make and packed with wholesome ingredients, they're a great addition to your snack repertoire. Whether enjoyed with a glass of milk, a cup of tea, or simply on their own, these cookies are sure to delight your taste buds and keep you satisfied.
