Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas (with brown spots)

  • 1½ cups rolled oats

  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter (optional, for softness)

Optional Add-Ins

  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds

  • 2 tbsp shredded coconut

  • 2 tbsp raisins or dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  • Mash Bananas:
    In a large mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth but not runny.

  • Mix Ingredients:
    Stir in oats, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, and any sweetener or coconut oil you’re using. Mix until fully combined.

  • Add Mix-Ins:
    Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or other optional ingredients. The dough should be sticky but easy to scoop.

  • Shape Cookies:
    Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your fingers.

  • Bake:
    Bake for 10–15 minutes, until edges are golden brown and firm to the touch.

  • Cool & Serve:

  • Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Texture Tip: For chewier cookies, use old-fashioned oats. For crispier cookies, use quick oats.

  • Vegan Option: Use maple syrup instead of honey and coconut oil instead of butter.

  • Gluten-Free Option: Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free.

  • Storage:

    • Room Temp: 3 days in an airtight container

    • Fridge: Up to 1 week

    • Freezer: Up to 3 months — reheat briefly before serving.
