1cuppeanut butteror almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini
¾cupchocolate chips
½teaspoonbaking soda
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick sheet.
Mix the mashed bananas with the rolled oats and peanut butter in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
Add the chocolate chips and baking soda. Mix well to combine.
Form cookies: Use about ⅔ cup measurement for each cookie. Using your hands, form balls with the cookie dough. Transfer the balls onto the lined baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart. Press down on each ball to flatten it into a cookie shape.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and warmed through. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Notes
To make smaller cookies: Use ⅓ cup measurement and bake them for about 12 minutes. These will be one-half the calories.
For nut-free, use tahini or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
For gluten-free, use gluten-free rolled oats.
For more chocolatey, use 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Storage: Refrigerate remaining cookies in an airtight container for up to one week. Or freeze them in a freezer-safe container in layers, separated by parchment paper so they do not stick, for up to 6 months.
