Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  4. Stir in the protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  5. Add the oats and mix until a thick dough forms.
  6. Fold in the mini M&M’s.
  7. Let the dough sit for 5–10 minutes so the oats can absorb some of the moisture.
  8. Divide the dough into 5 large cookies on the baking sheet. Press them down slightly because they will not spread much.
  9. Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look cooked through.
  10. Let the cookies cool for at least 10 minutes before moving. They firm up as they cool.

Notes

High Protein Banana Oatmeal M&M Breakfast Cookies Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE NOTE: These cookies are soft, chewy, and banana-forward. They are not crispy cookies. Since they are made with banana, oats, and protein powder, they will have more of a baked oatmeal cookie texture.
SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Using a pure whey protein powder instead of a whey/casein blend will result in a dry, rubbery cookie. The blend is necessary to keep them moist.
BETTER LATER NOTE: These cookies improve after cooling completely, as the centers firm up and develop a better chew. Store leftovers in the fridge to keep them fresh.
SERVING TIP: Warm the cookie in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating if you want a softer, fresh-baked center vibe for breakfast.
