Protein Oatmeal Cookies » LeelaLicious (2024)

These delicious Protein Oatmeal Cookies aremade with bananas, peanut butter, protein powder, chocolate chips and more. They are a gluten free, filling snack or even a quick breakfast you can simply grab and go.

This post is sponsored by Naked Nutrition. I love using their Naked Whey Grass-Fed Protein powder in this protein cookies recipe. It is pure highest quality whey without any added sweeteners or flavorings.

Many of you love my healthy breakfast cookies and regularly I get questions how to incorporate protein powder into the recipes. While there are way to modify the exiting version, I also wanted to give you a dedicated Protein Breakfast Cookie recipe right here.

This recipe for protein brownies is another delicious high protein snack.

Ingredients and Substitutions

While you could make this a super simple oatmeal protein cookies recipe with just the first 4 ingredients (bananas, peanut butter, protein powder, and oats), I wanted these cookies to taste fantastic too. Especially when using unflavored, unsweetened protein powder I highly recommend using all or most of the ingredients. Definitely the sweetener and vanilla extract for flavor.

• bananas- use large, very ripe bananas and mash them until very smooth
• natural peanut butter - almond butter or other nut butter will work too
• rolled oats - check labels for gluten-free oats if needed
• Naked Whey Protein Powder - 2 scoops equal about 6.5 tablespoons

  Optional but highly recommended ingredients below:

• chia seeds
• coconut oil - or avocado oil
• honey - or maple syrup
• chocolate chips
• raisins - or other dried fruit like cranberries
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• sea salt

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Follow the directions in these process shots to successfully make these oatmeal raisin protein cookies.

Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork or wire whisk until completely smooth and liquidy

Add all of the other ingredients and mix with a spatula until fully combined

Use a spoon or small scoop to divide the cookie dough and place on a lined baking sheet

Flatten the banana protein cookies to about ½ inch thickness. Then bake at 325°F for 10-13 minutes

Hint: I like to cool the finished protein powder oatmeal cookies on a wire rack so that no condensation forms underneath which could make them too soft and soggy

Variations

Here are some ideas to switch up the flavor of these oat protein cookies:

• Pumpkin - follow this recipe and replace the flax meal with protein powder
• Apple - use protein powder instead of flax meal in this apple walnut breakfast cookies recipe
• Zucchini - make these zucchini breakfast cookies adding protein powder in place of flax meal

Storage

The peanut butter protein cookies will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for about 4 days. Store in the fridge for about 1 week. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
