Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix mashed banana & peanut butter until completely combined then add in the applesauce, vanilla protein powder & the extract(s) and mix again until all are completely combined.
Add in the oatmeal & nuts to the banana mixture & combine. Add the optional carob / chocolate chips at this time if you want them mixed throughout.
Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Drop cookie dough, by spoonfuls, onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet & flatten cookies into circles. If you just want the carob / chocolate chips on the top of the cookies, add now.
Bake cookies approx. 20-30 minutes or until golden brown & done. Remove from oven & let rest on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then move to cooling rack.
When cookies are completely cool, store in a covered container.
