Banana chocolate chip protein cookies (vegan, oil-free, GF option, one-bowl)
These vegan chocolate chip protein cookies are moist, chewy, and oh-so-delicious. They're the perfect way to use up your ripe bananas!
Ingredients
- 2 mashed ripe bananas
- 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter 30g; or other nut / seed butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup 30g; optional (if protein powder is sweet enough)
- 4 tbsp plant-based milk 60g; plus more as needed (depending on size of bananas)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 60g; or use all-purpose flour or any GF flour
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder 30g
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips 60g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas with peanut butter, optional maple syrup, and milk.
- Sift in flour, protein powder, and baking powder. Stir in chocolate chips, and fold until combined.
- The resulting "dough" should be slightly runny, like cake or pancake batter.
- Scoop the mixture onto a lined baking tray. Tap the tray on the counter to let the cookie batter flatten, then bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!
