Main Ingredients
- 3 bananas (peeled)
- 200 g rolled oats
- 100 g smooth peanut butter
- 50 g runny honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 40 g chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 180℃ fan/200℃/Gas Mark 6/350°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the peeled bananas thoroughly and add the rolled oats, smooth peanut butter, runny honey, and ground cinnamon. Mix everything together very well until a sticky dough forms. If using chocolate chips, stir in half of them now.
- Shape cookies: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Scoop out the mixture into 8 cookie shapes on the tray, spacing them evenly. Press the remaining chocolate chips on top of each cookie if using.
- Bake cookies: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cookies are firm and lightly golden at the edges.
- Cool and set: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking tray before transferring. This cooling step helps the cookies to set properly and prevents them from breaking apart.
Notes
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free and sugar-free, making them a healthy breakfast option.
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and easier mashing.
- If you prefer, substitute peanut butter with any other nut or seed butter.
- Chocolate chips are optional and can be omitted or replaced with nuts or dried fruit.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
