Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• 0.25 cups peanut butter or almond butter
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups mini chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Stir in the peanut butter or almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped nuts and optional mini chocolate chips or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the tops slightly with the back of the spoon to form cookie shapes.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
