Soft, chocolatey and naturally sweet, these protein breakfast cookies are about to become one of your favourite meal-prep staples.
Made with simple, wholesome ingredients such as rolled oats, ripe banana, nut butter and smul Protein Powder, they contain a satisfying combination of fibre, slow-releasing carbohydrates, healthy fats and protein.
They’re perfect for busy mornings when you need something convenient, or as an easy on-the-go snack during the day.
You can use any smul Protein Powder flavour you love. We used smul Café Latte Protein Powder for a delicious cappuccino-inspired flavour that pairs perfectly with the dark chocolate chips. ☕️🍫
Make a batch, store them in the fridge and you’ll have breakfast sorted for the week.
