Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)
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 until smooth and lump-free.
Stir in the rolled oats, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. If you’re using dark chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small, round cookies. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon, as they will not spread during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are set and lightly golden on 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.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
