Start your day with these healthy, protein-packed oatmeal cookies that are quick to make and perfect for breakfast or snacks.

0.5 cup overripe mashed banana (about 1 large banana)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
0.75 cup natural peanut butter or nut butter (almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
0.25 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
large pinch salt (sea salt preferred)
0.5 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
2.5 cups high-protein oats (see notes below for protein content)
1 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, raisins, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, or trail mix)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix mashed banana, applesauce, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
Add protein powder, oats, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon, and salt; stir into a cohesive dough. Fold in mix-ins.
Portion dough onto baking sheets using a ¼-cup scoop, flatten slightly.
Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden. Cool on sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

Using a cookie scoop helps keep portions uniform for even baking.
