Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons natural almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and slightly chunky.
Step 3
Add the rolled oats, almond butter, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
If desired, fold in optional add-ins like dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts to enhance the flavor and texture of the cookies.
Step 5
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, place dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and set.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy your healthy banana cookies as a guilt-free treat or snack!
