Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy or chunky)
• 0.33 cups Honey or maple syrup
• 1 medium Ripe banana (mashed)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups 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 mashed banana, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until everything is combined into a thick dough.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and flatten it slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies evenly apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
