Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the bananas, oats, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Stir until combined.
- Drop 1-1/2-inch balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down slightly on each ball of dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until light brown and crispy around the edges.
Notes
- If the cookie dough batter feels runny in your hands when forming balls, add 2 tbsp of oats at a time and mix them in. You can also try refrigerating the batter for 20 minutes or until it firms up.
- Natural peanut butter usually has more oil. If using, you might need to add extra oats to compensate.
- Add all the indulgent mix-ins if you’d like! Chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, etc.
- Use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter if you have a peanut allergy.
- 1/2 cup of shredded carrots added to these cookies tastes great and makes them even healthier!
- Use old-fashioned oats for best results, but quick oats can be used if needed.
- Use dairy free chips for a DF and vegan cookie recipe.
- Dark to almost black overripe bananas are perfect for this recipe. They have a great natural sweetness and are soft and blend in great with the batter.
- Let cookies rest on a cooling rack for a few minutes after baking.
- If you prep the batter ahead and refrigerate it, let it rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes before making the cookies.
