Low on energy? Tired and lethargic? Maybe just haven't found the perfect pre-gym snack yet? I feel your pain!
I have to admit that I'm a big snacker, in the morning and in the afternoon. I just like having something to nibble on when I work in front of the computer and yes - I am aware, that this is not the best habit.
It is difficult to find the right snack, that is tasty but at the same time not full of sugar and unwanted calories. I eat a lot of fruit - especially during the cold season, but sorry: fruit just doesn't give me the crunch that I crave in a snack.
Of course, there are plenty of low-calorie snacks that I could prepare, but let's be honest: who needs another thing on their to-do list and to spend an hour in the kitchen prepping, just to feed a habit?
So, to solve this I recently made these quick and easy protein bites. It was more of an experiment the first time around - but a successful one I can say! It is such an easy recipe, it literally takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, it doesn't make a mess and therefore, I think it's safe to say, these are perfect!
Also: these vegan bites contain just 4 ingredients!
What you'll need to make Vegan Protein Cookies With Peanut Butter
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup oats (gluten-free for a gf version)
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp cacao / chocolate protein powder
How to Vegan Protein Cookies With Peanut Butter
Before making your vegan protein cookie dough, preheat your oven to 190ºC.
While you're waiting for the oven to heat up, peel your bananas and place them in a medium-sized bowl before mashing them up with a fork. Be sure to make there aren't any large chunks and that what you're left with is a smooth consistency.
Add your peanut butter and protein powder and mix everything together well. Now that your base mixture is ready, you'll want to stir your oats into the mixture until everything is combined.
Next, scoop small amounts of your cookie dough onto a lightly oiled baking tray and put your cookies in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
When they're cooked, take your cookie bites out of the oven and let them cool down completely before transferring them to an airtight container - they should last for 4-5 days if you keep them in the fridge, I wouldn't know though as I ate all of min in 2 days!
