Instructions
0 Pre-heat oven to 350F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. 1 Mix the batter. Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl & mix gently to combine. Next add the wet ingredients except for banana, walnuts & chocolate chunks. Mix together with a fork until a thick batter forms and all ingredients are fully incorporated. The batter will resemble traditional cookie dough, but may be a touch stickier depending on the type of protein powder you’re using. 2 Add mix ins. Fold in chocolate & walnuts until fully incorporated, then gently fold in the banana (try not to mash it in!) 3 Scoop the dough. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough into three large cookies & plate on the parchment lined cookie sheet. The cookies will spread a bit when baking, but I like to smoosh them down just a bit with my hand & form them into cookie shapes. Be sure to leave room in between so they don’t bake into each other. 4 Bake. Bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are set & golden brown. If the cookies aren’t quite set when you remove it from the oven, instead of baking longer than 12 minutes, place it in the fridge for 5 minutes, this will help it set. 5 Enjoy! Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight sealed container at room temperature up to 2 days.View original recipe
