About This Recipe

Satisfy your sweet tooth with these easy and delicious banana oatmeal cookies! Made with simple ingredients like bananas, rolled oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips, they are perfect for a healthy snack. Gluten-free and easily made dairy-free.

Ingredients

• 2 small-medium ripe bananas ((200 grams))
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups rolled oats ((200 grams))
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips ((45 grams))
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts ((40 grams))

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mash bananas. In a medium-large bowl, add your bananas and mash with a fork until mostly no lumps remain.
3. Add your remaining ingredients. First, add your wet ingredients of eggs and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Then add your dry ingredients of oats, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine again. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts. I like to save a handful of chocolate chips to sprinkle on top of the cookies before they bake.
4. Form cookies. Using a cookie scoop, about 2 1/2 tablespoons worth, scoop out your oatmeal mixture and place it on a lined baking sheet. The batter will be pretty wet, so you might need to reshape it slightly. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until the mixture is set. Let cool for 5 minutes to make sure they are set.
6. Enjoy!
