Protein Peanut Butter Cookies

Y’all ready for the easiest cookie recipe ever? I’m about to share my Protein Peanut Butter Cookies with y’all but I wanted to let you know why I love them — besides that they are so easy to make!

They’re packed with protein so a great post-workout snack
They keep you full from the combo of healthy fats & protein
They have a good dose of potassium from the bananas
They don’t taste like protein cookies — the peanut butter and banana mask any protein taste 🙂
They are good for any time of day! Sometimes I like these as breakfast with my coffee or sometimes as a dessert
They’re delicious
I’m just rambling now…bottom line is they’re delicious, easy to make, and a great snack to make for the week!

Ingredients:

2 overripe mashed bananas
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I use this kind)
1/4 cup liquid egg whites

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mash banana and then add peanut butter. Stir until combined
Then add in protein powder and stir until completely mixed in
Lastly add the egg whites. Stir until everything is kind of a whipped texture!
Lightly spray parchment paper and place on cookie sheet. Spoonful onto parchment and try to keep it in a round form. This does not have to be perfect 🙂 We will flatten into cookie shape later.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until just soft to the touch. You don’t want to overcook, then they will be dry and crumble!
Use a fork to gently push down into cookie shape.
Cool on cookie rack and then enjoy!
