Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Fruit
- 1/2 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, blueberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each slightly with the back of the spoon to shape into cookie forms for even baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown color indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the best texture.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the cookies fresh for the best flavor, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for natural sweetness and softer texture.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
- These cookies freeze well; store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
