Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined
- In a separate bowl, combine the quick cook oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated
- If using optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage
- Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of batter for each cookie and drop onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie to about 1/2-inch thickness
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies feel firm to the touch
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days
Notes
Use spotted ripe bananas for natural sweetness, quick oats for softer texture, customize with different nut butters or add-ins, and freeze for meal prep. Bake longer for crispier cookies or shorter for softer ones.
