Ingredients
Cookie!
- 4 very ripe bananas
- 2 1/4 cups quick oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Syntrax Micellar Creme Vanilla Milkshake protein powder
- 1 cup raw coconut flakes *optional
Vanilla Bean Cinnamon Buttercream
- 1 cup coconut oil, softened OR 2 sticks butter, softened
- 4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3–4 tablespoon milk (whole lends a better flavor here)
- 2 whole vanilla bean, split and seeded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Using a pencil make 3 6” round circles on 2-3 pieces of parchment paper (sized to your baking sheet). Do not let the circles touch and leave at least 2” between them. I only needed 2 sheets of paper as my pan was 15”x20” so I fit 3 circles on one sheet.
- Place the sheets, pencil marked side down.
- In a bowl using a fork mash the bananas until smooth.
- Add in the oats and protein powder.
- Using a sturdy spoon, combine.
- Add in the cinnamon, brown sugar, baking soda, vanilla extract, raisins and coconut flakes.
- Mix until combined.
- Evenly divide the mixture inside the circles on the parchment paper. The mixture should be about 1/2”-3/4” thick.
- Bake for 13-16 minutes or until the sides and top are just set. They should depress slightly when pressed.
- Allow to cool on the pan for 3-5 minutes.
- Using a metal spatula carefully slide underneath and remove the cookies to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the butter cream.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment cream butter until light in fluffy.
- Add in the confectioners’ sugar 1/2 cup at a time until fully incorporated.
- Scrape down the paddle attachment, remove and replace with the whip attachment.
- Add the cinnamon, vanilla seeds and 3 tablespoon milk and whip on high speed for five minute until very light and fluffy. Add the additional tablespoon of cream if a thinner consistency is desired.
