Ingredients
- 3 small ripe bananas, mashed (~1 cup mashed)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups quick cook 1 minute oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Brewer's Yeast Powder (optional for lactation cookies)
- 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (plus a little extra for garnishing the tops of the cookies)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, peanut butter, honey, egg and vanilla until smooth.
- Then combine the dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl: oats, flour, brewer's yeast (if using), flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture with a rubber spatula until combined and then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough onto cookie sheet, 6 cookies per sheet. Press the cookies down gently with the back of a spoon or measuring cup. Place a couple more chocolate chips on top of the cookies if desired.
- Bake for 15-16 minutes or until edges are lightly brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top, if desired. Enjoy!
