Tips and tricks
○ S erving: you can top the cookies with Greek yogurt, jam or peanut butter for extra flavor and protein.
○ Dough consistency: The dough should be thick rather than runny. If the batter is too runny (e.g., using a smaller banana), add a little more oatmeal or flaxseed.
○ Protein powder variations: If you don't have protein powder, you can omit it and add more oatmeal or mix in a tablespoon of coconut flour for extra fiber. Alternatively, vegetable protein can be used for a vegan option.
