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.
