Ingredients

Basic Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Additional ingredient

  • cup Raisins or dried cranberries

OR

  • cup Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

OR

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 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)
