Ingredients:

2 bananas
240g
1 cup multi-grain oatmeal
80g
1 scoop whey protein powder
30g
1/2 cup raisins
70g
2 oz dried coconut meat
54g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
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.
2. Mash Bananas:
In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the bananas using a fork or a potato masher until they reach a smooth consistency.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
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.
4. Form Cookies:
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.
5. Bake:
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.
6. Cool:
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.
7. Serve and Store:
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.
