Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (optional)
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips or raisins
- 1 pinch salt
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, peel the bananas and mash them with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, peanut butter (if using), and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or raisins using a spatula to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form cookie shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around 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.
Serve immediately or store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
