Main Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter unsweetened preferred
- 0.5 cup oat flour or all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup brown sugar packed, optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter, oat flour, brown sugar (if using), vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- If adding chocolate chips, fold them into the dough.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Lightly flatten each cookie with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a healthier option, skip the brown sugar or use a sugar substitute. These cookies are also great with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
