Ingredients
- 1 flax egg (1 TBSP golden flaxseed meal + 3 TBSP filtered water)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium to large bowl, smash bananas with a fork. Add in the protein powder, oats, and almond meal, and stir to combine everything. The mixture should be thick, sticky, and moist.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts.
- With a cookie scoop, portion out heaping tablespoons of cookie dough and place on the baking sheet. Flatten the dough slightly with your hands.
- Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the top is set.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and freeze for long term storage.
