Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.33 cups chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and mix well until fully combined.
If desired, fold in optional ingredients such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to create an even shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
