Nothing screams Christmas or the holidays more than peppermint flavored everything! Or at least ... I like to think so.
I'm a huge peppermint gal, and because of that, I decided to put together a delicious, high-protein peppermint cookie recipe. That way, you and the rest of the family have a sweet treat for the holiday season that won't compromise your health and fitness goals!
Peppermint Protein Cookies
Servings: 10 (1 Cookie = 1 Serving)
Ingredients:
• 4 Scoops of Level-1 Peppermint Bark Protein Powder
• 1 Tbsp of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 2 Large Bananas
• 2 Tbsp of Smooth Peanut Butter
• 1 1/4 Cup of Dark Chocolate Chips
• 1/4 Cup of Crushed Peppermint
• Sprinkle of Sea Salt
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees ℉.
2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas into a smooth paste.
3. Put the peanut butter in a small bowl or ramekin to heat in the microwave. Microwave the peanut butter in 5 second intervals until fully melted.
4. Add the melted peanut butter to the banana paste and mix until thoroughly combined.
5. Add the Level-1 Peppermint Bark and cocoa powder to the mixture and mix it well.
6. Now, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds, then mix it with the rest of the ingredients.
7. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of crushed peppermint to fold into the mixture.
8. Spoon out the mixture onto a lined baking tray, forming 10 evenly-sized balls of dough.
9. Flatten the dough with a spoon and place the tray in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
10. Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle each cookie with a little bit of sea salt as they cool for 5-10 minutes.
11. Enjoy your Peppermint Protein Cookies!
