Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas (230 grams without peel)
- 115 g (1 cup and 3 tablespoons) gluten free old fashioned rolled oats (or regular rolled oats if not gluten sensitive)
3rd Ingredient Alternatives
- 1 and ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 60 g (⅓ cup) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate into small pieces*
- 60 g (½ cup) whole walnuts or walnuts cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F(177°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Place the bananas into a medium bowl and mash with a fork.
- Dark chocolate/walnuts versions: Add the oatmeal and stir with banana. Mix in the walnut or chocolate pieces. Take two tablespoons of the mixture, place on the baking sheet and flatten the mixture with your hand or a spatula. Bake for 10 minutes or until the top sets and don’t stick to the parchment paper. Alternatively, for the walnut version, after mixing the mashed bananas with oatmeal, you can place 2 tablespoons of the mixture on the baking sheet and after you flatten it, you can gently place a large walnut piece in the middle.
- Cinnamon version: After mashing the banana with a fork, add the oatmeal, cinnamon and stir until combined. Take 2 tablespoons of the mixture, place on the baking sheet and flatten the mixture with your fingers or a spatula. Bake for almost 12 minutes or until the top sets and don’t stick to the parchment paper.
Notes
*I use dark chocolate with 80% cocoa which still makes these cookies sweet enough with ripe bananas. I don't recommend sweet chocolate chips as the cookies will be too sweet. I would suggest you use at least chocolate with 55% cocoa. If you want these cookies to be vegan, make sure to check the chocolate label.
How to store: You can keep cool banana cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
