YUM! Love the addition of protein in these.
These look super yummy! I love that these have protein in them and banana as the sweetener. Question – the recipe is Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies but there are no chocolate chips listed as an ingredient even though they are shown in the picture? Are the chocolate chips included in the macros or should I adjust if adding them? Thanks!!
Oh, jeez, sorry. I forgot to include the chocolate chips in the recipe. The macros include the chocolate chips! 🙂
What would I need to add if I left out the protein? This recipe looks great – and I do have everything 🙂 except the protein. Ha!
Collagen might work. Maybe more oats? I’m not quite sure since I’ve only made them with the protein powder, but it could be a fun experiment! 🙂
Bananas and chocolate make cookies so good! I can’t wait to try these delicious treats.
These do look easy and yummy….
where are the chocolate chips?
ah, recipe was updated. nevermind!
Damn, I just ran out of protein powder while i do have the rest of the ingredients. Well, they are just going to have to wait untill the new one is delivered. We usually have a chocolate flavoured one at home and I’m sure it would work just as well as vanilla.
I think chocolate would work great! 🙂
All I have on hand are gluten-free Quick Oats – will those work? Or do I need to go buy regular Rolled Oats?
Any oats with work! 🙂
Wow! This protein cookie recipe seems to be wonderful even more with a special banana touch.
Ok — I have to try this.
I’m always looking for a great but healthy treat recipe and have long settled on protein shakes as a “treat” that doesn’t feel like a treat… if that makes sense.
I’m going to have to give these a whirl — I’m wondering if 6 is enough for one batch…
Yeah…so…I’m going to have to make these…ASAP! Yum! 😉
YESSSS. This also seems like a versatile recipe, so I’m sure you could swap some pumpkin spice chips in there for chocolate chips or event peanut butter and butterscotch. DROOL.
Made these last night with Trader Joe’s pea protein powder. I had never tried it so I was taking a gamble. I added 1/4 cup PBFIT and a splash of milk to help mix them together. SOOO GOOD. The perfect amount of sweetness, the protein is just an added bonus.
Another go to recipe when I need to use up my naners. Thank you!
That’s awesome! Glad they turned out well! 🙂
Just made these cookies this morning – they are absolutely fantastic! I substituted coconut oil for butter and it worked out great. I will definitely be making these again!
So glad to hear that!!
Would 1 egg be a substitute for the whites?
How many actual egg whites would be equal to 1/8 cup? I never have the liquid type but always have eggs on hand.
These were so good!!!!!! My boyfriend went crazy!
Also they remind me of your Choc chip banana bread cookies – another CNC favorite!! They are such a standby but i love these for being a bit more nutritious!
So glad to hear that! 🙂
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I made the cookies and they are delicious! Are the macros for one cookie?
