{Peanut Butter Banana Protein Cookies}

Sometimes you just want to eat cookies for breakfast, lunch and maybe even dinner… and that is ok when said cookie is packed with good for you ingredients, protein and healthy fats!  

Yes, I am talking about these Peanut Butter Banana Protein Cookies, and they are the bomb!  What i love about these little gems is the flavor.  Straight from the oven these beauties remind me of a warm slice of banana bread, studded with walnuts that has been slathered in peanut butter.

Another perk to these cookies... . they are healthy enough to be eaten as a grab and go breakfast, but sweet enough to satisfy my post dinner sweet tooth!    Now thats what I call a win win!  Are you ready to make up a batch for yourself?
