Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well.
In another bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring to combine. If you're using chopped nuts, fold them into the dough now.
Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each portion slightly with the back of the spoon to form biscuit shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Allow the biscuits to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
