Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats Use gluten-free oats if needed.
- 1 ripe banana mashed Banana adds natural sweetness.
- 1/2 cup almond butter Peanut butter works as a substitute.
- 1/4 cup honey Maple syrup can be used for a vegan option.
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract For added flavor.
- 1/2 tsp baking soda Helps cookies rise.
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Use raisins or nuts for a healthier twist.
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts Almonds or walnuts add crunch.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). This will ensure your cookies bake evenly and become perfectly golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed banana, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined and you have a thick, sticky dough.
- Add the baking soda to the mixture and stir until it’s evenly distributed. You’ll notice the dough becoming a bit lighter as the baking soda activates.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts. The chocolate will melt slightly during baking, creating delicious pockets of sweetness.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They will spread a little, so give them some room.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem soft right out of the oven.
- Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set perfectly.
- Enjoy these cookies warm, or store them in an airtight container for a quick breakfast on the go!
