Ingredients

Scale

1/3 cup creamy nut or seed butter (e.g., peanut butter or almond butter)

2 cups oats

1/4 cup non-dairy milk (e.g., almond milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped nuts or raisins (e.g., walnuts or raisins; optional)

1 cup chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, or milk)

Instructions

1- Mash 3 ripe bananas in a large bowl using a fork until smooth and creamy.

2- Add 1/3 cup creamy nut or seed butter, 2 cups oats, 1/4 cup non-dairy milk, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the optional 1/4 cup chopped nuts or raisins. Mix everything until fully combined for a thick batter.

3- Scoop the batter into cookie shapes onto a lined baking sheet using a cookie scooper. Remember, these cookies won’t spread much, so shape them as you like.

4- Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to help it hold its shape during baking.

5- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get ready for that wonderful baking aroma.

6- Bake the cookies for 20 minutes until they’re golden and firm.

7- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor!

Notes

🍌 Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and texture.
❄️ Chilling the dough helps cookies keep their shape during baking.
🥄 Substitute nuts or raisins for added texture or omit for a nut-free option.
