Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 medium Ripe banana
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (or raisins)
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, and optional dark chocolate chips, mixing until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and drop onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to form a cookie shape.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy the cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
