Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mashed banana
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed banana, almond butter, honey, and cinnamon. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the mixture is cohesive.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the raisins and dark chocolate chips if using, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for bursts of sweetness and texture.
- Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart slightly to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the cookies are set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack or serving, ensuring they firm up and hold their shape.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Ensure bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and moisture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Customize your mix-ins by adding nuts or seeds for extra protein and crunch.
- Allow cookies to cool thoroughly to avoid crumbling when handled.
