Tips

  • Use ripe bananas for better sweetness and texture.
  • Choose natural nut butter without added sugars or oils.
  • Protein powder sweetness varies—adjust honey as needed.
  • Don’t overbake
  • Cookies will continue to set as they cool.
  • Let them cool completely
  • This helps them firm up and hold their shape.
