Basic Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies Additional ingredient ⅓ cup Raisins or dried cranberries OR ⅓ cup Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
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!
Use ⅓ 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)
