Perfectly Fried Chicken with a Crispy Coating

Ingredients

4 servings

1 small ripe banana ¼ cup golden flax seeds 2 teaspoons chia seeds 2 scoops vanilla protein powder 1 tablespoon powdered peanut butter 2 tablespoons dairy-free mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things from sticking. In a bowl, mash the banana with an electric mixer until it’s nice and creamy. Stir in the flax seeds and chia seeds, then add the protein powder and powdered peanut butter, mixing everything together well. Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula so they’re evenly spread throughout the batter. Using an ice cream scoop, drop six mounds onto the baking sheet, then press each one down lightly with the palm of your hand to flatten them a bit. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 8 to 9 minutes, until the cookies feel firm in the center and have a nice golden edge. Once done, move them to a wire rack and let them cool for around 10 minutes before digging in.
