How to Make These High-Protein Breakfast Cookies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the cookies don’t stick.

Step 2: Mix Everything Together
In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond butter, egg, milk, vanilla extract, unsweetened coconut flakes, hemp hearts, collagen powder, and baking soda. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 3: Shape the Cookies & Bake
Use a large spoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough into mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Press a few extra blueberries on top of each cookie if you’d like. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.

Step 4: Cool & Store
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Tips & Variations

• Switch Up the Fruit: Try chopped strawberries, raspberries, or even diced apples in place of blueberries for a different flavor.
• Mix It Up: From dark chocolate chips to dried cranberries and sunflower seeds there are so many delicious things your can add to this recipe.
• Nut-Free Option: Swap almond or peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or your seed butter of choice to keep the cookies nut-free.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Freeze in a zip-top bag or an airtight container for up to 2 months. Let them thaw at room temperature or warm them briefly in the microwave before serving.
• Meal Prep Tip: These cookies are perfect for batch prepping. Make a double batch and freeze half so you always have a high-protein breakfast ready to grab and go.
