Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups mashed banana about 3 medium bananas
  • ½ cup (128 g) peanut butter
  • 2 cups (160 g) rolled oats use GF if needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, optional
  • ½ cup (85 g) chocolate chips, optional

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (177°C) and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Blend in the peanut butter and vanilla extract if you like, mixing until evenly combined.
  3. Add the oats and chocolate chips if using, stirring all ingredients until the mixture is fully combined.
  4. Cover your cookie dough and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes while the oven heats up.
  5. Scoop about two tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the lined sheets; gently flatten the tops if you prefer thinner cookies and sprinkle extra chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges hold firm and display a light golden color.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool for at least 15 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a rack to finish cooling to room temperature.
  8. Enjoy your wholesome and delicious oatmeal cookies as a snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. For variations, check the blog post for ways to make these cookies without bananas.
