Recently I have been working on doing some elimination sleuthing in my diet in order to sort out some inflammation issues that are causing a lot of pain. One of the main things I am cutting out is sugar, which doesn't make me too upset, but every once in a while I really want a cookie. I stumbled across this recipe, and honestly, I doubted it would be worth my time. It seemed like the three ingredients were too good to be true. My kid with the banana allergy went to camp today, so I tried the recipe. It came out pretty great for cookies made from one banana and two scoops of protein powder!! It was an excellent treat that I appreciated and would make again. The recipe only makes 8 cookies, which is fine when you are home by yourself. If you live in a house with kiddos, you may want to double or triple the recipe.
Banana Protein Cookies
Ingredients:
1 Banana
1/2 cup protein powder (I used chocolate flavored Orgain)
1/2 tsp baking powder
*You can add 1 tsp of vanilla or cinnamon if you want some variety
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Prepare your cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine banana, protien powder and baking powder. With a fork, mash all the ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
3. Scoop dough into 8 portions onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 3 minutes then move to a cooling rack.
Makes 8 cookies: 40 calories & 6g protien each
