Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies
Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies combine mashed ripe bananas, almond butter, and maple syrup as a base mixed with oats, ground flaxseed, sliced almonds, and fresh or frozen blueberries. Baked at 350°F until lightly browned, these cookies have a moist, tender texture with chewy oats and bursts of blueberry sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup banana mashed, ripe, about 2 large or 3 medium bananas
- ¾ cup almond butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 ½ cups old fashioned oats certified gluten-free
- ¼ cup Flaxseed ground
- ⅓ cup almonds sliced
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mash the banana in a mixing bowl with a fork or potato masher. Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt and stir together with a spatula until smooth.
- Stir in the oats, flaxseed, and almonds. Gently stir in the blueberries.
- Use a cookie scoop or ¼-cup measure to scoop the dough onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. You should have about 12 large cookies. The cookies won’t spread during baking so press them down with your hand or a measuring cup to flatten them.
- Bake cookies for 18-20 minutes or lightly browned around the edges. Cool cookies on the sheet pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days. The cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
