There is one main question that every vegan on the planet has been asked at least 1,000 times. “Where do you get your protein?”
After a standard eye-roll, I generally spout off a list that includes…Vegetables, Soy, Nuts, Non-Dairy Milk, Beans, Quinoa, Tofu, Lentils, Oats, etc. etc.
I decided to give an extra boost of protein to these Oat Banana Muffins by adding 1/4 cup of vegan Now Sports Pea Protein purchased here. They are not too sweet and contain ZERO white sugar.
I am not a huge fan of dessert but these offer just the right amount of sweetness! They are fairly easy to make and because you put the entire batter into one baking sheet, cleanup is easy.
It took me quite a long time to find some good vegan butterscotch chips and I purchased mine here. They also have vegan white chocolate chips! AMAZING!
You can make these into cookies but the bars are so-much-easier! Also perfect during the hot summer months when you want to limit oven time.
ENJOY!
I love oatmeal! Oats are a rich source of fiber and also contain calcium and potassium which can help reduce blood pressure. However, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies should not be considered a “health food” but they offer a much better nutritional profile than a chocolate chip cookie or piece of banana cream pie.
As with everything, try to limit your serving size and be conscious of the sugar content. I make a big batch, keep out a few cookies and freeze the rest. They are easy to defrost and make a great accompaniment for a cup of afternoon tea (since the origin of the Oatmeal cookie dates back to Great Britain), or to satisfy a late night sweet tooth!
ENJOY!
