Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture into 12 small mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced slightly apart.
Lightly flatten the tops of the mounds with the back of a spoon to create small popper shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the poppers are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the poppers cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
