Game On Five-ingredient Cookies

Original "two-ingredient cookie" recipe can be found online at : http://www.theburlapbag.com/2012/07/2-ingredient-cookies-plus-the-mix-ins-of-your-choice/

Ingredients:
2 large old bananas
1 cup of  oats (quick or regular! if you use regular, we’d suggest chopping them a little so everything holds together better)
sprinkle of cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
2 scoops protein powder

Mix the banana and oats together, then stir in cinnamon, nuts, and protein powder.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes on a GREASED cookie sheet. You could also use parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Depending on size these should make 12 cookies for a total of 3 servings.

The best way I have found to freeze bananas is to use ripe bananas, peel them and break into 2 or 3 pieces, place them in an individual ziploc baggie, then place the baggies inside a freezer bag.
