Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon to the mashed banana. Mix well until everything is combined.
  4. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a firmer cookie, you can bake them for an extra 2 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to one week.
  • You can substitute the chia seeds with flax seeds for a similar texture.
