Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients: protein powder, rolled oats, cinnamon, ground flaxseed or chia seeds, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Gradually add the dry mix to the mashed bananas. Stir in the nut butter and applesauce, including vanilla extract if using.
  5. Drop dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for enhanced sweetness. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
