Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 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 using a fork until smooth.
Add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Sprinkle the cinnamon, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture and stir to incorporate.
Add the rolled oats and almond flour to the bowl and mix until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the chopped nuts and dark chocolate chips (if using) to distribute evenly.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
