Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Stir in the natural peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and lightly golden on the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these healthy banana drop cookies as a snack or dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
