Ingredients
Serving(s)
- 1 medium Banana, overripe
- 1/2 cup Cashew butter
- 2 scoop Pea protein powder, unflavored
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Add in the nut butter, protein powder, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and liquid sweetener. Mix until combined with a silicone spatula.
- Wearing kitchen gloves to prevent sticking, scoop the cookie dough into large balls onto the pan, about 68 g each. Flatten to a 1/4" thick circle.
- Press the chocolate chips into the top, about 1 tsp (6 g) per cookie.
- Bake at 350F for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Allow to cool totally on the sheet before removing.
Notes
- I've used cashew butter here, but any nut butter will work, like almond or peanut butter. For a nut free option, use tahini or pumpkin seed butter
- If you don't mind the extra sugar, net carbs, and calories, you can use maple syrup instead of sugar free syrup, and regular chocolate chips instead of the sugar-free variety.
