Here’s a simple and healthy Banana Oatmeal Snack Cookies recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined.
- If you’re using them, fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop. Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers, as they won’t spread much during baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- You can add other mix-ins like dried fruit, coconut flakes, or seeds.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
