Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Mix until everything is fully incorporated. If you're adding chocolate chips or chunks, fold them in at this stage.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as they won't spread much while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are just set. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the sheets before transferring them to an airtight container or serving plate.
Enjoy your No Fat Added Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies as a healthy and satisfying treat!
