Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed, about 3/4 cup mashed banana
- 1/2 cup almond butter, or use peanut butter instead
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats, gluten-free if needed
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, optional
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the mashed bananas, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a bowl, then stir until smooth.
- In a second bowl, combine the rolled oats, salt, cinnamon, chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts.
- Pour the banana mixture into the oat mixture and stir until the dough is evenly mixed.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, then gently press each mound down into a cookie shape.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges look lightly golden.
Notes
- Choose very ripe bananas for softer cookies and better natural sweetness.
- Press the cookies down before baking because they will not spread much on their own.
- Rolled oats give the cookies a chewy, sturdy texture.
- If the dough looks too loose, mix in a small extra handful of oats.
- Remove the cookies once the edges are set to keep the centers soft.
- Let the cookies rest briefly on the pan so they can firm up before serving.
