Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
- 0.25 cups raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins or dried cranberries for added texture and flavor.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
