Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free, if needed)
  • 2 large bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter of choice)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed bananas, and almond butter. Mix until well combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and chocolate chips (if using).
  3. Form Cookies: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared tray and gently press down to form a cookie shape.
  4. Bake: Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  5. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the tray before serving.

Storage Instructions

  • To Store: Keep the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • To Freeze: Place the cookies in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw at room temperature or in the fridge before enjoying.

Notes

  1. Ripe Bananas: Use overripe bananas for natural sweetness and easier mashing.
  2. Nut Butter Substitutes: Feel free to swap almond butter with peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, or any nut/seed butter you prefer.
  3. Add-Ins: Customize with optional add-ins like chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or dried fruit.
  4. Storage: These cookies are best stored in the fridge to maintain their texture and freshness.
