Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 120 grams creamy peanut butter
- 180 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 30 grams honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Add the creamy peanut butter, honey (if using), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, salt, and chocolate chips. Make sure the mixture is evenly mixed and forms a slightly sticky dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each portion with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form cookie shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Chunky Monkeys as a snack or a healthy dessert!
