Soft-baked and protein-packed, these breakfast cookies are a tasty way to kick-start your day!

If ever there was a protein cookie that earned the name, this is it. They bake up soft and fluffy while maintaining their structure for easy almond milk dunking!

For the ultimate breakfast cookie, you want quality carbs, healthy fats and low sugar so there’s no energy crash later. These cookies are made from almond butter and bananas to offer up natural sweetness and protein to curb hunger fast. Mashed ripe banana adds heaps of moisture and potassium, while almond butter adds creamy flavor. The final result is like a sweet banana bread!

A few other protein-filled ingredients help round out these breakfast cookies. Raw hemp seeds are full of brain-boosting fats and help add chewy texture to the cookies, while grass-fed collagen powder helps support skin, bone, and joint health.

Start by combining all ingredients except for the egg in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. Add the egg last and stir well until you have a fluffy cookie dough. Gently form the cookies into a flat, circular shape and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tip: Dampen fingertips to prevent dough from sticking. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden around edges. Cookies will puff slightly as they bake.

Cool the protein breakfast cookies for 5 minutes, then enjoy! Store in the refrigerator and grab one for a healthy breakfast on the go the rest of the week.
