Ripe bananas and creamy nut butter provide the base for these wholesome coconut collagen cookies, offering a soft, chewy texture that satisfies mid-afternoon hunger. A touch of cinnamon and dried coconut flakes adds a subtle warmth, while chopped dark chocolate folded into the dough brings a welcome bitterness that balances the natural sweetness of the maple syrup and fruit.
These treats come together quickly in one bowl and bake in just fifteen minutes, making them a practical option for weekly meal prep. The combination of oats and protein-rich creamer gives them a substantial feel that keeps them fresh in the refrigerator for several days, so you can grab one whenever you need a quick energy boost.
Because they lean on pantry staples like oats and nut butter, you can easily customize the ratio of chocolate or swap in your preferred nut butter depending on what is in your cupboard. They hold up well to chilling, which allows the coconut oil and chocolate to set into a firm, satisfying bite that pairs well with a morning cup of coffee or a late-night snack.
