Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana
- ¼ cup natural smooth peanut butter (preferably runny)
- 3 tablespoons honey or agave
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups traditional rolled oats
- ½ cup seeds (a mix of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Good pinch of sea salt
- Good pinch of cinnamon
Optional
- 1-2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mash the Banana: In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the natural smooth peanut butter and honey to the mashed banana and stir well to combine. If honey is hard, gently warm it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to make mixing easier.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add rolled oats, mixed seeds, chia seeds, salt, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir all ingredients together until evenly combined.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Aim for about 10 evenly sized cookies. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten and shape each cookie into a circle.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle mini dark chocolate chips over the tops of the cookies and gently press them into the dough.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes until the cookies turn lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
- If honey is too hard to work with, lightly warm it to soften.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter if preferred.
- Seeds can be adjusted or substituted according to preference.
- Omitting the chocolate chips will keep the cookies less sweet and more wholesome.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
