Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.25 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (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 almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to slightly flatten each cookie as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
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 a week.
