Banana cookies with chocolate chips
These soft and moist cookies are the perfect solution when you crave something sweet but don't want to compromise your fitness goals. Made without white flour or sugar, they get their natural sweetness from ripe bananas, while oats and peanut butter provide long-lasting energy. They are ideal for a quick breakfast on the go or a recovery snack after training.
