I love meal prepping these cookies to enjoy for a couple of days throughout the week! These cookies are great as a snack, for dessert or even for breakfast.
They are sweetened naturally with bananas and whatever small amount of sugar there is in the chocolate chips. You could even use sugar free chocolate chips if you’d like.
Banana Oatmeal Cookies are no traditional cookie. They are soft on the inside and have a strong banana flavor. If you hate bananas, I wouldn’t make these. But, if you’re here… I assume you love bananas. 🙂 Recipe by Hello Frozen Bananas.
INGREDIENTSÂ
- ⅔ cup mashed banana (about 2 bananas) – Spotty-brown bananas are best for this recipe. The more ripe the bananas, the sweeter the cookie.
- ¼ cup all natural creamy almond butter
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl with a rubber spatula.
- The cookie dough will be more wet since there is no flour. It’s slightly more difficult to work with. To help with this, refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes before forming into cookies.
- Scoop the dough with a medium sized cookie scoop. Place the dough in between your hands to squeeze it together and roll it to form a dough ball. Then, gently press to flatten. Place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the dough has been used. You can also just drop spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet and shape each spoonful into a cookie-like shape.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-12 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes.
