  • Dairy-free friendly: No milk or butter required.

Ingredients (Makes 10–12 Cookies)

  • 2 ripe bananas (for natural sweetness and binding)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (great for fiber and texture)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (adds protein and healthy fats)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (warm flavor boost)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (choose sugar-free or 85% cacao)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (balances sweetness and enhances flavor)

How to Make Flourless Banana Oat Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
  3. Add almond butter, oats, cinnamon, vanilla (if using), and salt. Stir until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the nuts and dark chocolate chips.
  5. Spoon small portions onto the tray and press down slightly to shape.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy warm—or let them cool fully for a firmer bite.

Tips and Easy Variations

  • Nut-free swap: Replace almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Higher protein option: Mix in 1 scoop of protein powder (adjust texture with a little extra banana if needed).
  • Naturally sweeter: Add chopped dates or raisins for extra sweetness.
  • Crispier cookies: Bake a few minutes longer for a more crunchy finish.
