Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1/4 cup natural smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons honey or agave
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups traditional rolled oats
- 1/2 cup mixed seeds (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Good pinch of sea salt
- Good pinch of cinnamon
Optional
- 1-2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mash the banana: In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
- Combine wet ingredients: Add the natural smooth peanut butter and honey to the mashed banana and stir together until fully combined. If the honey is hard, warm it gently in the microwave for 5-10 seconds before mixing.
- Add dry ingredients: Mix in the rolled oats, mixed seeds, chia seeds, sea salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375℉ (190℃) and allow it to fully preheat.
- Form cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, place the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming about 10 cookies of similar size. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon into circular shapes.
- Add optional chocolate chips: Sprinkle mini dark chocolate chips on top of each cookie and press them lightly into the dough.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until they turn lightly golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to firm up before enjoying them as a nutritious breakfast or healthy snack.
Notes
- If honey is solid or thick, warming it slightly makes mixing easier.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
- For vegan option, use agave instead of honey.
- Feel free to add dried fruit or nuts for extra texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
