Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 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.
Add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, and dried cranberries or raisins.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each slightly with the back of the spoon as these cookies won't spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. They also freeze well for longer storage.
