Do you have some overripe bananas sitting on your kitchen counter, just waiting to be thrown away? Before you toss them in the trash, consider transforming them into something delicious and nutritious! With this simple recipe, you can turn those old bananas into scrumptious banana oat cookies that are both sugar-free and good for you. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1 cup of rolled oats
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
A handful of nuts or seeds (optional)
A handful of dried fruit or dark chocolate chips (optional)
How to Make Banana Oat Cookies:
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mash the Bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash them until they become smooth and creamy. Remember, the riper the bananas, the sweeter your cookies will be!
Add Oats and Flavorings: Add the rolled oats to the mashed bananas. Stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon. These ingredients enhance the natural sweetness and flavor of the bananas without adding any sugar.
Mix in Optional Ingredients: If you like, you can add a handful of nuts or seeds for a delightful crunch, or some dried fruit or dark chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor. Stir until everything is well combined.
