Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the ripe bananas until they are smooth with minimal lumps.
- Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, blueberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each cookie apart to prevent them from sticking during baking. Flatten each spoonful slightly with the back of a spoon to shape the cookies.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.
- Cool the Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Store: Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
- Optional honey or maple syrup can be adjusted or omitted depending on your sweetness preference.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if using frozen, do not thaw before mixing to avoid excess moisture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For a nutty flavor and added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds.
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
