- Spoon mixture onto prepared baking sheet (cookies don't spread, so shape them now) and bake for 12-14 minutes (depending on size).
- Cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes.

Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: For up to 1 month. The best way to defrost protein cookies is in a microwave. That way the moisture and softness is restored.
- Flavored protein powders: You can use vanilla whey, just make sure you buy unsweetened one.
- Can I use plant-based protein powder? No. It contains very absorbent ingredients like peas, rice, which yields dry cookies. For that reason, I don't recommend the substitution.
- Can I use previously frozen bananas? Yes. Just make sure to thaw them before using.
- Can I use quick oats? You can technically, however due to them being more finely milled, they tend to dry out the cookies, so I avoid them.
