Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • oven

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup mashed banana about 2 large
  • 0.5 cup peanut butter or other nut butter of choice or sunflower seed butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey or light agave
  • 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup vanilla protein powder or swap oat flour
  • 0.25 cup ground flaxseed meal
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pepitas or almonds
  • 0.33 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup reduced-sugar dried cranberries

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, peanut butter, and eggs until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla and maple syrup.
  • Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, protein powder, flaxseed, and chia seeds over the top. Stir to combine.
  • Fold in the oats, walnuts, chocolate chips, and cranberries. The batter will look very liquidy.
  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 4 hours, or for the thickest cookies, cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion the batter by ¼ cupfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, until the cookies feel nearly set on top and edges. Let cool on the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftover cookies at room temperature for up to 1 week. Freeze the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. For sweeter cookies, add 1 tablespoon of additional maple syrup.
