Servings: 18
Ingredients
- 2 bananas ripe, mashed
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup raisins
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 raisins. 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 12-14 minutes, or until light brown and crispy around the edges.
Notes
- Add all the indulgent mix-ins you’d like!
- Dark chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, or butterscotch chips work great if you want a sweeter cookie.
- Use dairy-free chips like the ones from Enjoy Life to keep it dairy free.
- Add some chopped nuts for a great texture component and some extra protein.
- Add just a little bit of almond or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- If the batter feels runny in your hands when forming the cookie dough balls, add 2 tbsp of additional oats. You can also try refrigerating the batter for about 20 minutes or until it firms up.
- Use almond butter or another nut butter if you have a peanut allergy
- Natural peanut butter usually has more oil than regular peanut butter, so you may need additional oats.
