Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Ripe bananas (about ¾ cup mashed)
  • ½ cup Almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 3 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Rolled oats
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon (optional)
  • cup Mini chocolate chips
  • cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
  • optional Shredded coconut
  • optional Dried cranberries
  • optional Cacao nibs
  • optional Chia seeds or ground flaxseed

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine oats, salt, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and walnuts (if using). The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press the dough down slightly to flatten each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are made with simple, wholesome ingredients, and they taste like a treat while being healthy enough for breakfast. They're naturally sweetened by the bananas and packed with protein and fiber!
