Description
Delicious and healthy banana oat cookies made with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup natural nut butter (like almond or peanut)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or dried fruits (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- chopped nuts, seeds (optional toppings)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until they are smooth and creamy.
- Add in the rolled oats, nut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix everything together until you have a thick batter—it should hold well.
- If you’re adding chocolate chips or dried fruits, fold them in gently to mix evenly throughout the batter.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, giving each cookie about an inch of space between them.
- Pop them in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack. Serve them warm or store them for later.
Notes
- These cookies are great for a quick snack or breakfast.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite add-ins like nuts or seeds.
