Tips and Warnings

Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freeze: For up to 1 month. The best way to defrost protein cookies is in a microwave. That way the moisture and softness is restored.
Protein powders: You can substitute unsweetened vanilla whey powder or any other flavored powder you like.
Plant-based protein powder: Is not recommended.
Frozen bananas: Can be used, just remember to thaw first.
Quick oats: Are not recommended as they tend to dry out the cookie.
