Snow Day Fun!

Happy Snow Day! :) 

With all my free time today I tried a new recipe for a fun protein packed breakfast cookie! 

SUPER EASY Banana chocolate oatmeal cookies

2 mashed bananas

1/3c peanut butter (I choose crunchy for extra texture) 

2/3 c unsweetened applesauce (2 kids pre-pack cups) 

1 scoop protein (I did three full scoops) 

1 t vanilla

1 1/2 cups oatmeal (uncooked) 

Optional: 

1/4 c dark chocolate chips

1/4 c nuts (chopped) 

Preheat heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix mashed banana & peanut butter until completely combined then add in the applesauce, vanilla protein powder & the extract~ mix again until all are completely combined.

Add in the oatmeal & nuts to the banana mixture & combine.  (** add the optional carob / chocolate chips at this time if you want them mixed throughout)

Let dough rest for 10 minutes.

Drop cookie dough, by spoonfuls, onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet & flatten cookies into circles. (** if you just want the carob / chocolate chips on the top of the cookies, add now)

 Instead of adding the chocolate chips to the cookies I waited until they were done baking and melted the chocolate for a drizzle on top for presentation points :) 

They are super good! I would definitely suggest making a bunch to have on hand. 

 Now all that's left for the day is watching Breaking Bad, I am finally on the 5th season! 

Until tomorrow :)
