Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Mix the mashed banana with the rolled oats and cinnamon, if using. Stir until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small cookie shapes. Flatten them slightly with a fork.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
- For a variation, add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
