  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1-2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 0.5 cup nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
  • 0.25 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 0.25 cup seeds (pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds)
  • 0.33 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Equipment

  • Oven

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Fork or mixing utensil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth, then add honey or maple syrup and nut butter, and mix until combined.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the rolled oats to the wet mixture and stir until every oat is coated.
  5. If the mixture seems dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it holds together.
  6. Fold in any add-ins like nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
  7. Portion out the dough onto the baking sheet, about the size of a golf ball, and flatten slightly.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are soft.

Notes

Feel free to customize the cookies with your favorite nuts, seeds, or fruits. Store cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days at room temperature, or up to a week in the fridge. They freeze well for up to 3 months. For a vegan version, use maple syrup or agave instead of honey. These cookies can also be made savory by omitting sweeteners and adding cheese and herbs.
