Equipment
- Non-stick baking sheet
- Ice cream scooper with trigger
- Regular parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 medium Bananas Ripe for sweetness.
- 1 cup Fine or quick oats Hearty base for cookies.
- 2 Tbsp Peanut butter Rich in flavor and protein.
- ⅓ cup Raisins or dried cranberries Adds bursts of sweetness.
- ⅓ cup Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks For a chocolatey experience.
- 3 tsp Cocoa powder Enhances chocolate flavor.
Instructions
- First, peel the bananas. Take a medium-sized bowl and mash them with a fork as much as you can. You can leave some yummy banana chunks. Then, add peanut butter and mix. Finally, add the oats and mix.
- If you'd like to add chocolate chips, raisins, or cocoa powder, you can add them now.
- To get an equal portion for each cookie, I use an ice cream scooper with a trigger.
- Preheat the oven to 390 Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and bake the cookies on a baking sheet or on parchment paper for 15 minutes.
- Wait until the cookies chill. They are very soft when hot. Enjoy!
Notes
- Chocolate chips: I love the combination of white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Carob chips: For an even healthier WFPB-friendly option.
- Raisins or dried cranberries: Basically, any dried fruit can work here.
- Chopped nuts: Cashews, almonds, walnuts, pecans add a nice crunch.
- Shredded coconut: Toasted coconut goes great with chocolate chips.
