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 bananas until smooth with a fork or potato masher.
Add the natural peanut butter, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
If using optional ingredients such as dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture now.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop approximately 2-tablespoon portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon to achieve your desired shape, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies feel set.
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.
Enjoy your sugar-free, flour-free oatmeal cookies as a healthy snack or breakfast treat! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
