Default Banana Cookies

saw these thought sound nice will get misses to make and let you know or if do before let me know how they are


A batch of soft, sweet banana cookies doesn't have to be packed with sugar, butter, or flour. Nor does it need to be difficult to make or time consuming.

All you need is a bunch of bananas, banana protein powder, oats, and a few minor ingredients. No blender or food processor necessary. It's easy.

Ingredients
•4 large bananas
•4 scoops protein banana
•2 cups old fashioned oats
•1 teaspoon baking powder
•1 teaspoon salt
•Splash of vanilla extract
•Liberal amounts of ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom or pumpkin pie spice

Directions
1.  Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.  Mash the bananas together in a mixing bowl. If you have a potato masher use it, otherwise a fork is fine.
3.  Add all the other ingredients and mix by hand.
4.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with coconut oil.
5.  Spoon out batter using a cookie scoop so that you get somewhat uniform cookies. With a medium-sized scoop you should get about 20-22 cookies.
6.  Bake for 18-20 minutes depending on your oven and how large you made your cookies.
7.  Err on the side of a shorter bake time, then break one open to see if it's done. Or stab one with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, you'll know they're done baking.

Tips: Invest in a cookie scoop. Find one with a "sweep" which is the thing you often see on ice cream scoops. Using unconventional ingredients means that you won't be able to form the cookies with your hands. Use the scoop to make them uniform in size so that they bake evenly.

Nutrition information: Banana-banana cookies contain about 77 calories per cookie, 5 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbs, and 1 gram of fat.

Note: These are ballpark numbers. They won't be exact because of variances in cookie size, the ingredient brands you use, optional additions you may make, and minor measuring errors.
