These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies are high in protein and have no processed ingredients! Plus, they are so yummy! My husband loves them!
What You'll need: (makes about 1.5 dozen)
- 2 Bananas, ripe and mashed.
- 1/3 cup of peanut butter, any kind
- 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup whey protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1-1/2 cup quick oatmeal oats
-1/4 cup chopped peanuts
-1/4 chocolate chips or carob chips, (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mash bananas and peanut butter until well combined. Next, mix in applesauce, protein powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Add in oatmeal, nuts and chocolate chips. I chopped my peanuts in my "slap chop" and then combine. Let the dough set for 10 minutes.
Drop cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Unlike most cookies we eat, these will not spread while baking. So gently even out the cookies into circles about 1/3" thick.
Bake for 30 mins. Let cool, then store in tupperware in fridge or freezer. `
These sound delicious. I will have to try them. I'm looking for higher protein, less carb cookies. Yum!

ReplyDeleteThese look really good! I like the inclusion of the banana and applesauce instead of other, less healthy ingredients. I wonder how they'd work with plain old rolled oats instead of quick oats. They'd probably just be a little.. chewier.

I'm not sure, but I bet it would work fine! I found quick oats real cheap from Aldi.
DeleteI'm going to try these! They look yummy!!
ReplyDeleteThey are good, I have to refrain from eating them! Chuck thinks they are like his own homemade cliff bars, similar texture but not has hearty/thick as a cliff bar!
DeleteDo you think you could make them without bananas? What would you use instead?
ReplyDeleteYes! The Bananas are meant to be a lower fat substitute for eggs and to make the cookies dairy free. But if you prefer, probably 2 eggs instead would be fine!
DeleteGreat question by the way!
