Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Fruit and Nut Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Wet and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transform ripe bananas into a smooth, creamy puree using a fork or potato masher.
- Incorporate rolled oats, almond butter, honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into the mashed bananas, mixing thoroughly until a cohesive batter forms.
- Tenderly integrate fresh blueberries and optional chopped nuts, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Create uniform portions by scooping tablespoon-sized dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a light golden exterior and a firm, set texture.
- Initially cool the cookies directly on the baking sheet for a few minutes to help them stabilize.
- Complete the cooling process by transferring the cookies to a wire rack, allowing them to reach room temperature and develop a slightly crisp exterior.
- Savor these nutrient-dense, wholesome treats as a satisfying morning meal or energizing midday snack.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting honey or maple syrup based on personal preference and ripe banana’s natural sugar content.
- Use frozen blueberries for a different texture, but ensure they’re slightly thawed and patted dry to prevent excess moisture.
- Swap almond butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free alternative that maintains the creamy consistency.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or refrigerate for extended freshness, maintaining their soft texture.
