I finally came across some fall leaves on this morning’s 10k run. Texas is always so behind on the fall foilage! I’ve been Dora the Explorer lately trying to find some pretty fall colors.
Oh yes…and from now on Thursday is no longer Thursday ya’ll…it’s FRIDAY EVE. Let’s make it a thing okay? Okay.
Today I have a yummy breakfast/snack cookie that has just a few ingredients and packs a little protein punch! My 3 ingredient protein cookies.
Here’s what you’ll need.
-1/2 cup of organic rolled oats, dry
-1 medium ripe banana
-1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I highly recommend this vegan protein from Everlast-non dairy/no sugar with great taste!)
Mash the banana and then mix in oats and protein powder. Optional: add a drizzle of honey or agave to the mashed banana mix. Roll into balls and flatten onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Bake in the oven on 350 for 15 minutes or until cooked through. I like them a little chewy in the middle so don’t leave ‘em in the oven for too long!
Add chocolate chips or coconut shreds for more fun.
What are you cooking up in the kitchen this week? Do you have any fun/healthy/clean snack ideas to share?

Totally baking these this weekend! Thank you for the inspiration. I think a dash of vanilla extract, pumpkin spice and cinnamon could give it more punch too!
Mmm YES to pumpkin & cinnamon! So many things you can do to spice ’em up!
I like the protein powder idea. I usually just do the oats, banana, and chocolate chips or carob. If I’m feeling super healthy
Yes those are very good as well…I’m sure carob gives it a nice lil dose of sweetness!
These look yummy!!! I like the idea of an extra protein kick – thanks!
Absolutely!
Great recipe. Quick and looks tasty. Do you think chocolate protein powder would taste good?
It wouldn’t hurt to try! Let me know if you do.
Will keep you posted.
Friday Eve, love it! And that recipe looks delish!
Woot woot cheers to Friday eve!!
Ooh! Those sound so tasty! And, at only three ingredients, I could even handle that!
Yep they are!
Wow, that recipe looks great, and super easy! Thank you and happy running! 🙂
Anytime!
