Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe banana (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently flatten each cookie slightly, as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
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 immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
