Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 1/2 cups whole rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter; smooth or crunchy
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F. In a medium size bowl, mash together the bananas with two forks. Mash until the banana is completely mashed and creamy.
- Add the remainder of the ingredients to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and use a mini ice cream scoop to scoop out the dough ball and place on prepared baking sheet. Making sure to leave a little room between each one, please note the cookie will not expand or spread.
- Gently press down with a fork on the top of each cookie to make a small criss-cross pattern. Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
- You can add 1/4 cup of chopped nuts of your choice for a crunchier texture.
- If you do not have a mini ice cream scoop, simply use a regular spoon and scoop 2 small scoops of the dough.
- You can also make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free oats!
- If you love chocolate, add mini or regular chocolate chips to the mixture or to the top of the cookies before you bake them.
