Equipment
- Non-stick baking sheet
- Ice cream scooper with trigger
- Regular parchment paper
Ingredients
Basic Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
- 2 Banana (medium) 8.5 oz
- 1 cup Fine or quick oats
- 2 Tbsp Peanut butter
Additional ingredient
- ⅓ cup Raisins or dried cranberries
OR
- ⅓ cup Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
OR
- 3 tsp Cocoa powder
Instructions
- First, peel the bananas. Take a medium-sized bowl and mash them with a fork as much as you can. You can leave some yummy banana chunks. Then, add peanut butter and mix. Finally, add the oats and mix.
- If you'd like to add chocolate chips, raisins, or cocoa powder, you can add them now.
- To get an equal portion for each cookie, I use an ice cream scooper with a trigger release.
- Preheat the oven to 390 Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and bake the cookies on a baking sheet or on a parchment paper for 15 minutes.
- Wait until the cookies chill. They are very soft when they are hot. Enjoy!

Notes
Use 1/3 cup of add-ins (mix and match):
- Chocolate chips (dark or white) - I love the combination of white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Carob chips for an even healthier WFPB-friendly (whole foods plant-based) option.
- Raisins or dried cranberries - Basically, any dried fruit can work here. Although, you need to cut larger fruits like dried apricot into chunks.
- Hot chocolate powder (3 teaspoons at most per batch) - My daughter says "These are the best cookies!"
- Cocoa powder (3 teaspoons at most per batch)
- Chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- Seeds (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds)
- Shredded coconut (or even better toasted coconuts) - They also go great with chocolate chips or cocoa powder like in my coconut cookies recipe.
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon at most per batch)
- Spices like cinnamon (cause everything is better with cinnamon) or ginger or orange zest. (1 teaspoon at most per batch)
