Banana Bread Protein Cookies

These cookies may not look like Banana Bread, but they taste just like it, without any of the guilt!

Banana Bread Protein Cookies
1 egg
1/2 cup oats
Herbalife Vanilla PDM (2 scoops)
1/4 tsp banana extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon
water (for consistency)

Bake for 15 min at 350 degrees or until brown.

This is for a small batch of oat cookies. They have almost no sugar but are sweet nonetheless.



Helpful Hint 1: These cookies do not have any leavening agent in them, so when you arrange them on the baking sheet you ought to take this into account.

Helpful Hint 2: Oats tend to absorb moisture. For more flavourful and moist cookies let the mixture sit 5 min and then add additional water as needed before transferring to a baking sheet.

Helpful Hint 3: These cookies go well with anything that normally goes in banana bread, try adding chopped walnuts or chocolate ships! Also try adding mashed bananas!
