Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)
This recipe is super easy! You just need two main things for these tasty cookies. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
But, if you want to add some extra fun, try these mix-ins:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Nuts or dried fruit
If you’re missing some ingredients, don’t worry! You can swap them out. Use 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce if you don’t have bananas. Rolled oats work too, but bake the cookies a bit longer.
Want more protein? Add up to 1/2 cup of your favorite protein powder. I like vanilla-flavored vegan or casein protein best.
These cookies are so versatile! I love trying new flavors by changing mix-ins and substitutes.
Remember, the secret to great cookies is using very ripe bananas. The riper they are, the sweeter and tastier your cookies will be!
Instructions
I love making these cookies because they’re so easy! First, I set my oven to 350°F. This makes sure they bake perfectly every time. While it warms up, I mash ripe bananas in a big bowl.
Then, I mix in the oats until the batter is thick and even.
Next, I start making the cookies. I shape the batter into 8-10 balls and put them on a baking sheet lined with paper. I leave some space between them. Then, I flatten each ball with my hand into a disc shape.
Getting the baking time right is key. I bake them for about 15 minutes. They’re done when they’re lightly brown and firm. The bottoms should be golden and easy to lift off the sheet.
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Mix mashed bananas and oats
- Form batter into balls
- Flatten balls on baking sheet
- Bake for 15 minutes
After baking, I let the cookies cool before eating them. Waiting is hard, but it’s worth it! These cookies are great with cold milk or hot tea.
Tips, Tricks & Storing
I love these banana oatmeal cookies, and I think you will too! Keep your cookies in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to 3 days.
If you want to keep them longer, freeze them. Put them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll last up to 3 months!
When you want to eat them, reheating is easy. Just put them in a hot oven for a few minutes. They’ll taste like they’re new!
These cookies are great on their own or with other foods. Try them in a yogurt parfait, with fresh fruit, or dipped in cold milk. They’re perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon tea. There are so many ways to enjoy them, you’ll never get tired of them!
