Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy or chunky)
- 0.33 cups Honey or maple syrup
- 1 medium Ripe banana (mashed)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups 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 mashed banana, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well blended.
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until everything is combined into a thick dough.
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and flatten it slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
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.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
