Ingredients

• 2 pieces ripe bananas
• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

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 bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using raisins or chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 7

Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of a spoon, as they will not spread much during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

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