Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 medium Ripe banana
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (or raisins)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
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, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, and optional dark chocolate chips, mixing until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and drop onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to form a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden on the edges and set in the center.
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.
Enjoy the cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
