Banana oatmeal raisin protein cookies (vegan, oil-free, GF option, one-bowl)
These protein-packed oatmeal raisin cookies are soft and sweet -- a fabulous vegan recipe for using up those ripe bananas!
Ingredients
- 2 mashed ripe bananas
- 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter | 45g; 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
- 2 tbsp rolled oats | 10g
- 1/3 cup raisins | 40g; or another dried fruit or mix-ins of your choice
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 oats and raisins, then fold with a spatula 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!
