Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and maple syrup to the bowl and mix until well combined.
  4. Wash, core, and dice the apples, then add them to the bowl along with the oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt; stir until the batter comes together.
  5. Scoop batter onto the prepared sheet using a 1/4-cup measure, leaving space between each portion. Use the back of a spoon to flatten each scoop into a 3-inch round.
  6. Bake until the bites are just firm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Two tips

  • Make ahead: refrigerate the batter covered for up to 2 days and bake when ready.
  • Serving idea: drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top or serve with a small fruit side using ingredients from the list.
