Description
You only need 4 simple ingredients for these easy Peanut Butter Banana Cookies!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 medium sized bananas
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, or honey
- Optional toppings: crushed peanuts, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, banana slices
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large sheetpan with parchment paper or a non-stick mat.
- Add the oats to a food processor and blend until broken up, pulse for 15-20 seconds. See photo above for how they should look once done.
- To a large bowl, add the banana and mash with a fork. Next, add the peanut butter and maple syrup and whisk until fully combined.
- Add the oats and mix again until combined. Use a tablespoon scoop to scoop the dough onto your sheetpan and then use your fingers to pat it down a little so the tops are flat. Optional: add a few chocolate chips or peanuts to the top.
- Bake cookies until bottoms are starting to brown, 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
