Description
Healthy, vegan cookies made with bananas and oats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas (the browner, the sweeter)
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned; gluten-free if needed)
- 1/4 cup mix-ins (optional, choose any or combine): Dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds), cinnamon or spices, dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, chopped dried pineapple)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash Bananas – Peel and mash bananas in a medium bowl until smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
- Mix Oats – Stir in the rolled oats until fully combined. Let the mixture sit 2–3 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
- Add Mix-Ins – Fold in your choice of chocolate chips, nuts, or spices. The dough will be thick and sticky.
- Scoop & Shape – Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork dipped in water.
- Bake – 15–20 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and cookies are set. Adjust 3–5 minutes if you like crispier edges.
- Cool – Let cookies cool on the sheet 10 minutes before serving. They firm up as they cool.
