Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until they become a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Add rolled oats to the mashed bananas and mix well, ensuring the oats are evenly coated and integrated.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts, raisins, and ground cinnamon, stirring until all ingredients are distributed uniformly throughout the mixture.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie mound with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a more uniform shape.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- Choose ultra-ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your cookies will be without adding sugar.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and perfect cookie release.
- Don't overmix the dough - gently fold ingredients to keep the cookies light and tender.
- For extra crunch, toast the walnuts before adding them to the mixture.
- Let cookies cool completely to achieve the best texture and prevent crumbling.
- Store in an airtight container with a piece of bread to maintain moisture.
- For variation, try adding dark chocolate chips or coconut flakes for extra flavor.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add a few extra oats to achieve the right consistency.
