Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large ripe bananas, well mashed Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats Stick with old-fashioned oats for the best texture.
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter or almond butter For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter.
Optional Mix-ins
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips For a sweet bite.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds cozy flavor.
  • 1/4 cup raisins Add for extra sweetness and texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mash your bananas until mostly smooth. Add the nut butter and mix until creamy. Stir in the oats until the mixture is thick and scoopable.
  3. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto your pan and use damp fingers to flatten slightly into round cookie shapes.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden.
  2. Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before moving them to a rack.
  3. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days on the counter, up to 1 week in the fridge, or freeze for up to 3 months. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup if bananas aren't ripe enough.
