Peanut Butter and Banana Cookies require only THREE ingredients and are done in 15 minutes! Kids and adults love them and they are ridiculously easy to make. Great use for ripe bananas!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the bananas, oats, peanut butter and chocolate chips (if using). Stir until combined.
Drop 1-inch balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet. Press down slightly on each ball of dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Let cool.
Notes
Replace creamy peanut butter with crunchy for an added crunch in your cookies.
For an even healthier cookie, use natural healthy peanut butter or almond butter.
A teaspoon of vanilla extract would be a delicious addition.
Use old-fashioned oats as opposed to quick-cooking oats.
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt would add immensely to the flavor, as well!
A tablespoon or two of maple syrup would add an extra unique flavor.
A few tablespoons of brown sugar would provide extra sweetness and be extra satisfying for your sweet tooth.
These cookies are gluten free, but be sure to read the label on your oats to make sure they were not packaged in a facility that contains wheat.
