Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mash Bananas and Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the banana-oat mixture to distribute them without breaking them.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each mound into a cookie shape, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. This helps the cookies firm up and improves texture.
Notes
- You can substitute rolled oats with gluten-free oats if you prefer a gluten-free version.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for optimal sweetness and moisture.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
