Hi there and happy Monday! Since this is a Monday, I figured that we all need some chocolate cookies. To be precise these Chocolate Oatmeal Banana Cookies. I don’t know about you, but summer is usually a healthy eating season for me, what with all the fruit and vegetables that are in season. But not this year. This year everything is upside down and inside out. So I wanted to come up with a healthy cookie recipe to balance the scale just a little. This formula of bananas and oats has been floating around the internet for a while now. And it’s so brilliant, simple, and healthy. I just added some vegan chocolate protein to it and BAM! Yummy, healthy, chocolate cookies were born. I just wish I thought of it sooner. Oh well, better late then never.
This is not a sponsored post, but a did want to mention that I use LivWell Nutrition Raw Cacao Protein Blend here. It’s vegan, only has a few ingredients, and tastes great! I also used their Vanilla Bean Protein Blend powder in my Overnight Protein Vanilla Cherry Oatmeal recipe. I’ve tried a lot of protein powders over the years, egg white, whey and so on. This is by far is my favorite, and it does make me feel better that it is plant based.
Anyway, with only three ingredients and 5-minute prep time these Chocolate Oatmeal Banana cookies are going to be my go-to dessert/snack recipe for sure.
