✅ What You’ll Need:
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- ¼ cup organic peanut butter (or use your favorite nut butter like almond or cashew)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 cup rolled oats (I used sprouted, gluten-free oats)
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup chopped organic peanuts
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the peanut butter and maple syrup, stirring until well combined.
- Stir in the oats until the mixture becomes thick and sticky.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop. Flatten each one slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon. (This recipe makes about 6 medium cookies.)
- For extra indulgence, press a few more chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt (optional but highly recommended). Let them cool for a few minutes… then dig in!
