Chewy Oatmeal & Dark Chocolate Cookie Balls
These are soft and gooey, contain no added sugar, and I’ve bumped up the protein a bit.
Ingredients
• 2 bananas (fork mashed)
• 1/2 cup almond butter (or PB if you prefer)
• 1 cup oats (old fashioned)
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate bits (I used 100% baking chocolate, like a real man)
• 1 scoop Metabolic Drive Protein (I used chocolate)
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup Splenda or whatever low-cal sweetener you prefer
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Mix everything together. Make sure those bananas are well mashed. You may want to use a fork to break up the nut butter if you’re using natural.
-
Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. I used a small scooper, hence the cookie “balls” instead of cookies. You can make them into cookies too; just add a couple of minutes to the bake time.
-
Bake for 10-13 minutes. Err on the side of slightly undercooked to keep them chewy. They’ll firm up a bit as they cool.
I want to increase the protein, so next time I’ll see how two scoops of Metabolic Drive works. If you try it, let me know!
