Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed (approx 3/4 cup mashed)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter can sub peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon optional
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the mashed bananas, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the oats, salt, cinnamon, chocolate chips and walnuts.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until combined.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to scoop the cookies onto the baking sheet, then use your hands to gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.
  6. Bake for 12-15 until golden brown around the edges.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
Flatten the cookies slightly since they do not spread much.
Rolled oats give the best chewy texture.
Add a small handful of oats if the dough feels too wet.
Bake just until the edges are set for soft cookies.
Let the cookies cool slightly so they firm up before serving.
