Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
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 with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined and the oats are evenly coated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) to the mixture.
Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the mixture and shape them into small cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
