Ingredients
Scale
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 is ready for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly, then add the rolled oats, smooth peanut butter, runny honey, and ground cinnamon. Mix everything together very well until fully combined. If using chocolate chips, stir in half of them now.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop the mixture into 8 cookie shapes onto a lined baking tray. Press the remaining chocolate chips on top of each cookie if using.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking tray in the oven and bake the cookies for 20 minutes until they are set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking tray. This helps them set properly before transferring to a serving plate or storage container.
Notes
- These cookies are gluten-free thanks to the use of rolled oats and no added flour.
- You can omit the chocolate chips for a less sweet and more wholesome option.
- The recipe is naturally sweetened by the bananas and honey, making it free from refined sugars.
- For an extra protein boost, use peanut butter with added protein or substitute with almond butter.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to keep them fresh longer.
