Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, blueberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the dollops slightly with the back of the spoon to form cookie shapes of even thickness for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden brown.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to firm up.
- Serve or store: Enjoy the cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
- You can add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t available; just thaw and drain excess moisture before adding.
- These cookies freeze well; store in an airtight container and thaw at room temperature before eating.
- If you prefer a sweeter cookie, increase the honey or maple syrup slightly to taste.
