Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 overripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup nut butter peanut or almond butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon optional but cozy
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or raisins
  • pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Stir in oats, nut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Fold in your chocolate chips or raisins.
  5. Scoop the dough onto your baking sheet and gently flatten each cookie (they won’t spread).
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
  7. Cool, then store in an airtight container or freeze for later.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • If the dough feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon or two of oats.
  • Don’t overbake — they’re meant to be soft and chewy.
  • These are great for meal prep: make a double batch and freeze half!
