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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
- Add almond butter, oats, cinnamon, vanilla (if using), and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the nuts and dark chocolate chips.
- Spoon small portions onto the tray and press down slightly to shape.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
- 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.
