These high-protein chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and naturally sweetened with ripe banana, making them a great alternative to my High-Protein Frozen S’mores recipe. Each cookie delivers 9 grams of protein, making them a healthy, fitness-friendly dessert that’s quick to bake and perfect for satisfying cravings.
Makes 6 cookies
1 (120g) medium ripe banana, mashed
½ cup (60g) oat flour
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
2 tbsp (14g) powdered peanut butter
1 tbsp (15g) maple syrup
1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
½ tsp (2g) baking powder
Pinch of salt(1g) (optional)
2 tbsp (28g) mini chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
Stir in the oat flour, powdered peanut butter, protein powder, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until fully combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough into 6 equal portions and place them onto the baking sheet.
Gently flatten each portion with your fingers to help the cookies spread while baking.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

For cookies that spread more: add 1–2 tsp of melted coconut oil OR reduce oat flour by 1 tbsp.
For thicker, chewier cookies: stick with the full ½ cup (60g) oat flour.
For sweeter cookies: use a very ripe banana with plenty of brown spots.
Don’t overbake: they firm up as they cool.
