Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.25 cups natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cups mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons 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 natural peanut butter and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of a spoon as they won’t spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies feel slightly firm to the touch.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
