Ingredients

• 2 large Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted)
• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips or raisins (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 until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the natural peanut butter and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana and peanut butter mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Step 6

If you're using optional dark chocolate chips or raisins, fold them into the batter.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the tops slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers as these cookies won't spread much during baking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

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