Ingredients
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Add cinnamon (if using), oats, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Fold in mini chocolate chips (optional).
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana for maximum natural sweetness.
For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer shelf life.
Customize with chopped nuts, dried fruit, or coconut flakes.
