After making a batch of these healthy no-bake peanut butter oatmeal protein cookies, I knew I needed to continue this whole healthy cookie kick.

Don’t get me wrong, I totally love indulging in non-healthy cookies like these cake mix Oreo cookies or Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes cookies (magically delicious… for reals). But sometimes a girl wants to eat a cookie or three without feeling guilty.

That’s where these double chocolate peanut butter protein cookies come in. They’re softer and chewier than the aforementioned no-bake peanut butter protein cookie recipe. They’re also a little less tricky when it comes to shaping the dough.

I’m thinking these protein cookies are even easier to make than my favorite double peanut butter protein balls and PB&J protein bites.

These protein powder cookies call for five ingredients: bananas, chocolate protein powder, natural peanut butter, oatmeal, and mini chocolate chips. Mix all those ingredients together and bake for about 12 minutes. The result is soft, chewy, gluten-free peanut butter protein cookies you can feel totally good about eating.

Make sure you use parchment paper (I am in love with these pre-cut parchment sheets!) or a silicone mat so your protein cookies don’t stick. I also recommend my favorite cookie dough scoop for uniform cookie baking.

Actually, that cookie dough scoop is a great parenting hack. When every cookie has the same amount of cookie dough, it minimizes the amount of time kids spend trying to decide which cookie is the biggest…
