Recipe: Banana Oat Cookies

🍪👨‍🍳These fast & easy cookies are a great homemade option any time you crave a sweet treat. 

You can use either old-fashioned rolled oats or instant oats – but the rolled oats will give you a chewier cookie. 

Makes 12 cookies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large ripe banana

  • 1 cup (80 g) oats

  • ⅓ cup (85 g) natural peanut or almond butter

  • ½ Tbsp honey or maple syrup

  • Optional: 2 Tbsp raisins or cacao chips


Directions:

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350ºF/177ºC.

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas and stir in the oats until well combined. 

  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until mixed. The cookie dough will be sticky – but if it seems too loose, add some more oats until it reaches a cookie dough consistency.

  4. Drop the dough by tablespoon onto your prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
