Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon 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 peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir to incorporate the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop roughly 2-tablespoon portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon as they won’t spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These cookies also freeze well for up to 1 month!
