🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 medium ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
• 0.5 cup dried fruit (e.g., cranberries, raisins)
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.

3. Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well-combined.

4. In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

6. Fold in the chopped nuts, dried fruit, and dark chocolate chips (if using). Mix gently to distribute them evenly.

7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly to form a cookie shape.

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.

9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
