Cooking steps

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Mash the ripe banana thoroughly in a medium bowl to ensure a smooth texture.
3

Add rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana, then mix until a cohesive dough forms.
4

Scoop the dough onto the baking sheet in small rounds, pressing each to about 1/2 inch thick for even baking.
5

Bake for 18–20 minutes, watching closely after 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning; cookies are done when firm and lightly golden.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The core ingredient is rolled oats, which provide the base texture and structure for these cookies. Alongside banana and protein powder, the oats help balance flavor and ensure a hearty, chewy bite.

Q. What heat should I use when baking the cookies?

Bake these cookies at 350°F for 18–20 minutes. Watch closely near the end—after about 15 minutes—so they don’t overbrown or dry out. Consistent oven temperature keeps the texture soft but firm.

Q. How do I prevent my cookies from turning out too dry or too mushy?

Make sure your banana is well mashed and your dough holds together; if too wet, add a bit more oats, or if too dry, add a splash of water. Press each cookie to about 1/2 inch so they bake evenly without turning mushy or drying out.

Q. How many calories and how much protein are in each cookie?

Each serving provides about 98 kcal and 6 grams of protein. This makes each cookie a high-protein snack, with protein comprising 25% of the total calories, and carbohydrates about 53%.
