RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» For making Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/176°C.
  2. Peel the bananas and add them to mash in a medium mixing bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash bananas until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender to make a smooth puree.
  3. Add in peanut butter, and vanilla and mix until everything is well combined.
  4. Now add oats, and chocolate chips and gently stir together all the ingredients until oats and bananas are combined, and the mixture looks like a thick cookie batter.
  5. Scoop out about 1 heaping tablespoon of the dough into your hands and roll it into a ball. Make all balls with the remaining dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. After that, flatten each ball with the back of a cup or a spatula to shape it into cookies. Once done, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies have set and are light brown.
  7. When baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for about 2 minutes, and then remove them from the cookie sheet and transfer them to a cooling rack. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Cookies are ready! You can enjoy them with a glass of milk or with coffee.

RECIPE NOTES

  1. Storage - Store leftover cooled cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to 10 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  2. Nut-free cookies - You can easily make these cookies nut-free by replacing peanut butter with soya spread, hemp seed butter, pumpkin seed butter, tahini, or sunflower seed butter.
  3. Cocoa powder - You can make double chocolate oatmeal cookies by adding 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
