Banana-Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking sheets.

2. 2

   Using an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar together with about three-quarters of the mashed banana in a large bowl. Blend in the remaining banana, then stir in the vanilla extract.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves. Fold this dry mixture into the banana mixture, then stir in the rolled oats until fully combined.

4. 4

   Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.

5. 5

   Bake until the edges are firm and lightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
