Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) banana, ripe and mashed
- 1.5 cups (360 milliliters) rolled oats
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Optional Mix-Ins:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) chopped nuts
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen workspace by setting the oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- Select ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly in a mixing bowl until achieving a smooth, lump-free puree.
- Integrate rolled oats into the banana mixture, stirring gently to ensure complete and even incorporation.
- Enhance the flavor profile by sprinkling ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt, mixing carefully to distribute evenly.
- Customize the recipe by adding optional ingredients like sugar-free chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or chia seeds, folding them into the batter.
- Portion the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop, maintaining approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Delicately flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to create uniform shapes that will bake evenly.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and a set appearance.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Complete the cooling process by transferring cookies to a wire rack, allowing them to reach room temperature and develop a perfect texture.
Notes
- Customize mix-ins to cater to different dietary needs, such as using sugar-free chocolate chips for keto dieters or adding sunflower seeds for nut-free alternatives.
- Ensure bananas are perfectly ripe with brown spots for maximum natural sweetness and optimal cookie texture without added sugars.
- Experiment with spice variations like nutmeg or cardamom to elevate the flavor profile while keeping the recipe simple and nutritious.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation, maintaining their delightful soft texture.
