The Easiest Banana Oat Cookies

Forget the banana bread. When your bananas are turning brown, turn to this simple and delicious recipe instead!

Yield: 12 Servings

Prep Time:  10 minutes

Cook Time:  10-14 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas
  • 1 3/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 pinches cinnamon
  • Optional add-ins (see below)

Directions

  1. Grab 3 bananas and mash them with a fork until no chunks remain. Pour in about 1 3/4 cups rolled oats and 1/2 cup light brown sugar.
  2. Use the fork to mix until combined.
  3. Stir in a dash or two of cinnamon and a teaspoon of vanilla.
  4. Add throw-ins if using (see suggestions below) and mix again.
  5. Spoon the batter into 12 rounds and place them on a Silpat or lightly-oiled baking sheet.
  6. Cook for about 10-14 minutes, until the outsides become golden and solid.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before eating.
  8. At this point, if you want to melt some dark chocolate and drizzle it over the top, no one would blame you.
  9. Throw-in Ideas
  10. These cookies are extremely versatile: you can make them differently every time.

Here are a few other flavor combo ideas:

  1. Chocolate –Try adding dairy-free chocolate chips into the batter or melting them and drizzling over the top after the cookies have cooked.
  2. Blueberries – Simply throw a handful of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter before cooking.
  3. Nuts – Peanut butter is another great paring with these cookies, as are whole nuts, like almonds or walnuts.
  4. Coconut – For a great coconut macaroon-like cookie, add in a small handful of shredded coconut to the batter.
  5. Cinnamon Apple – Cut an apple into small chunks and add them to the batter with an extra few dashes of cinnamon for cinnamon apple cookies.
