Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.25 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (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, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 4
Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to slightly flatten each cookie as they will not spread much during baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
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
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.
