Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips may use sugar-free or dairy-free
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the rolled oats, chocolate chips and mix well.
- Take spoonfuls of the mixture and using your clean hands, shape into cookies. They won’t change their shape while baking, so make sure you give them the final look.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.
- Serve them warm or completely cool for a crispier texture.

Notes
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the sheet pan before removing them.
- Use rolled oats instead of quick oats if you can. If you have any gluten allergies, use gluten-free rolled oats.
- for a kick-in flavor, consider adding 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix them in with the oats first before adding them over the mashed bananas.
- For a vegan-friendly option, use dairy-free chocolate chips
- Add ons: other ingredients you can add to these are shredded coconut, chia seeds, and nuts
- Store cookies in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for 2 days. You can store them in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Reheat a cookie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if you like them served warm
