Here's how you can turn it into a real protein cookie to eat for breakfast, or anytime you need a cookie. If you're not a senior who's a picky eater, you don't need the Pure Protein bar 😉 --
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies (a complete protein)
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups oatmeal flakes
1 cup of crunchy peanut butter
1 large ripe banana, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
a pinch of salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
a sprinkle of nutmeg
1/4 cup honey
2/3 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Options: (1) 1/4 cup of raisins - I add raisins to keep the cookies moist longer. You could puree them before adding. (2) Although we're not dried fruit in cookie fans, you could use other dried fruit if you like. (3) If you wish to chop 1/2 cup of nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds, feel free to toss them into the batter. (4) A couple teaspoons of flax seeds is another healthy choice.
Directions:
1) In a mixing bowl, mix all your ingredients, one by one, together.(2) Refrigerate the batter for 1/2 hour or more.
3) Drop a tablespoon size of batter onto a buttered foil-lined cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Flatten the top if you wish.
4) Bake at 375 degrees F for 12 - 14 minutes or until they are slightly golden brown.
5) Remove and let cool before serving.
Protein cookies are for people who don't eat breakfast.🙂
