Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup mashed banana
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth and creamy. Add honey and mix thoroughly to create a wet ingredient base.
- Gently fold the wet banana-honey mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a consistent dough forms.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blackberries, being gentle to avoid crushing them completely. Some whole berries will add bursts of flavor in the cookies.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie mound with the back of a spoon to help them spread evenly during baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: For the best flavor and sweetness, use overripe bananas. They not only enhance the taste but also help bind the cookies together.
- Gentle Mixing: When folding in the blackberries, be gentle to keep some berries intact. This will create delicious bursts of flavor in each bite.
- Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop for uniform size, which ensures even baking. If you prefer larger cookies, just adjust the baking time slightly.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, seeds, or even a sprinkle of chocolate chips for an extra indulgent twist.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. They can also be frozen for longer storage; just thaw them at room temperature when you're ready to enjoy!
