Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) oats
Texture Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) raisins
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) shredded coconut
Instructions
- Thoroughly mash ripe bananas in a spacious mixing vessel until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried raisins, and shredded coconut into the banana base, stirring until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for the cookies.
- Use a spoon to portion out uniform dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Gently press down on each cookie mound using a fork, creating a classic cookie shape with characteristic crosshatch marks.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 15-20 minutes, monitoring until edges turn a rich golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest and firm up at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
- Enjoy the nutritious cookies while they are still slightly warm, appreciating their natural sweetness and wholesome texture.
Notes
- Swap out raisins for dark chocolate chips to add a decadent twist while keeping the healthy vibe.
- Toast nuts beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor and create a deeper, more complex taste profile.
- Use rolled oats instead of quick oats for better texture and a more substantial cookie consistency.
- For gluten-free options, confirm your oats are certified gluten-free to accommodate sensitive diets.
