Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
  3. Add the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in the rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in your chosen mix-ins.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for one week.
  • Add 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed or chia seeds for an extra fiber and omega-3 boost.
