Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed bananas about 2 large bananas
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 cups gluten free old fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add bananas to bowl and mash completely.
- Then, add in all remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Use cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto parchment paper. Flatten cookies with fingers or spatula. They should be about 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. They do not spread while baking.
- Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until middles of cookies are set. They will start to turn a light golden color.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow them to cool on pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for best results. Completely mash bananas.
- Maple syrup can be omitted for a slightly less sweet option. Honey can also be used.
- Use all natural creamy peanut butter. It should only contain peanuts and salt. Any extra oils or added sugars will alter the texture.
- I highly recommend old fashioned oats. They yield the best texture. I do not recommend quick cooking oats.
- The texture of this dough is pretty thick and sticky.
- Flatten cookies before baking. They do not spread at all so they will come out of the oven how they went into the oven!
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. Since they contain bananas, they do not stay fresh at room temperature for very long.
- Store in fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 2 months.
