Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted)
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips or raisins (optional)
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, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the natural peanut butter and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana and peanut butter mixture, stirring until fully combined.
If you're using optional dark chocolate chips or raisins, fold them into the batter.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the tops slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers as these cookies won't spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies 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 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
