Chelle's Chocolate Chip Post-Workout Bomb

Recipe by Chelle Stafford
Makes 8 bombs

• 1 cup Cereal - I used Kashi Honey Sunshine Squares
• 2-3 scoops vanilla protein powder (my scoop = 1/3 cup). I used 3.
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
• 1/2 tsp sea-salt
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips (I used 365 brand organic semi-sweet)
• 1 egg (whole, raw
• 1 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk (if needed)
• **Optional: 1-2 Tbsp sweetener (honey, sucanat, agave, stevia, etc)

Preheat oven to 350°
Crush up the cereal into a chunky flour. I used a mini-food processor.
Mix ingredients together until well blended. It should look like cookie dough.
Drop spoon-fulls onto a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 13 minutes, then allow to cool slightly before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.


These bombs are like a cross between a cookie & a biscuit.


OPTIONS:  Swap unsweetened applesauce for banana. Use a different cereal. Omit baking powder (so they don't poof up). Reduce sea-salt.  Remember, though... any change in the ingredients will change the nutritional profile.


My pickiest taster in the house.
