Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well to create a uniform wet mixture.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and a thick dough forms.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and/or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop approximately 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon as they will not spread during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
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.
Enjoy immediately, or store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
