Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups chopped walnuts (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 large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Stir in the natural peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Add the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon if desired.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and lightly golden on the edges.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy these healthy banana drop cookies as a snack or dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
