  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until they are nice and creamy.
  2. Mix in the peanut butter (or nut butter of choice) until thick and creamy.
  3. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips, sea salt, and ground cinnamon (if adding) until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and drop mounds of dough on the sheet, creating whatever size cookies you like.
  5. Transfer the tray of cookies to the freezer and freeze for at least one hour, or until the cookies have set up.
  6. Serve the banana oatmeal cookies, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use any well-stirred nut or seed butter such as almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter as a substitute for peanut butter.
  • After initial freezing, transfer cookies to an airtight container and store refrigerated for up to one week to maintain texture.
  • The cookies must remain cold to keep their shape and consistency, so avoid room temperature storage beyond serving time.
  • Optional chocolate chips, cinnamon, and sea salt enhance flavor without adding baking steps.
