Ingredients
- 2 cups oats (rolled or steel cut)
- ⅓ cup nut butter
- 2 ripe bananas
- ⅓ cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients (nut butter, oats and chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips).
- Stir all the ingredients together until it forms a sticky dough.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough until there is nothing left. Depending on the size of the cookie scoop you can get between 8 to 12 cookies.
- Place each of the cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet, make sure to leave about 2 inches between the cookies.
- Wet your fingers in water and flatten each of the cookie dough balls.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
- Let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- It is very important to use ripe bananas, if your bananas are not ripe you will need to add additional sweetener to the cookie dough.
- These cookies will not spread so make sure to flatten them.
- Make sure to mash the bananas very well because if you have large chunks of banana the cookie dough will be very dry.
- The dough might be more wet as there is no flour, so you might need to refrigerate it for 10 to 15 minutes. If you are using steel cut oats you will get a less wet dough and the texture of the cookies will be chewier.
- Use cookie scoop to make sure that you get evenly sized cookies.
