Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe banana (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the 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 until smooth.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Step 7
Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently flatten each cookie slightly, as they will not spread much during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Step 9
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 10
Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
