Delicious chocolate coconut protein cookies use banana for sweetness and moisture and oats as the base with avocado, protein powder to be more filling.

Chocolate Coconut Protein Cookie-24

Okay, I know what you’re thinking already. Protein cookie? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of a cookie altogether? I would normally agree wholeheartedly, but hear me out on this one.

I LOVE sweets, but rarely make them because I just can’t control myself when I have ready access to sugary, delicious, chocolaty foods. Mmmm… just typing that made me do a mental inventory of all desert like items in the house. See? Its just not good for me to have that stuff sitting around.

Luckily a chocolate coconut protein cookie comes to the rescue by providing a fix to trick my sweet tooth into thinking I’m caving to my sugary craving… but au contraire! I’m really sneaking in a slew of  good fats, oats, and enough protein to make this a satisfying little snack. Well played, if I do say so myself.

Chocolate Coconut Protein Cookie - pan-2-2

The one downfall with these chocolaty little protein cookies is that they don’t last long. Not just because you will eat them all the first day you make them, but also because you are using fresh ingredients with high moisture content like banana and avocado, so they will go bad after 3 or 4 days on the counter (if they last that long). I have tried freezing these little protein cookie nuggets and it works okay, but of course they aren’t as good as they are fresh (but what frozen stuff ever really is?).

Ingredients
 

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 small avocado
  • 1 1/2 scoops unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3 T unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/2 Tbsp. melted coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
  • Either mash bananas by hand or use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
