Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies (No flour, eggs, or refined sugar)
Easy and delicious strawberry oatmeal cookies made with rolled oats, banana, fresh strawberries, peanut butter, and other pantry staples. Filling, tasty, and perfect as a snack or dessert option.
Servings: 12 -14 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or any nut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large ripe bananas mashed
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or one egg
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips sugar-free or dairy-free
- Sea salt flakes optional, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Next, in a large bowl, mash the 2 large ripe bananas. Add the 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed. Mix until everything is incorporated.
- Add the 2 cups rolled oats and mix well to combine.
- Fold in the 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips and 1/3 cup chopped fresh strawberries, then remix.
- Using a spoon or scooper, place 12 cookie dough balls on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle some Sea salt flakes if using.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving. Enjoy.
Notes
- If you do not have ground flax, use one egg and add 2 tsps of vanilla extract.
- Make it vegan by using dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Use fresh strawberries; frozen ones won't work and will make the cookies really soggy.
- Quick oats will work, but the texture will change slightly.
- No sugar is needed since the bananas are sweet enough, and the chocolate chips will also add sweetness.
