Base Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork until smooth. Add the quick oats and raisins or chocolate chips, then mix until all ingredients are well combined forming a sticky batter.
- Form the cookies: Using a spoon, scoop portions of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, gently flattening each mound into cookie shapes about 2 inches in diameter.
- Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and better texture.
- Quick oats work best for a softer cookie, but rolled oats can be substituted for a heartier texture.
- Optional: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
