Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

Serves: 10 large or 20 small

Ingredients:

1 medium, ripe banana

1/2 cup of peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter, whichever you want

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

2½ cups traditional rolled oats or quick oats

1/2 cup seeds or chopped nuts: See notes below.

1 tablespoon chia seeds or 2 tablespoons flaxseed

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 cup sugar free or regular chocolate chips

What to do:

Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, add banana, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until combined.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spoon the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. There should be approximately 10 to 20 cookies of the same size. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten the cookies and shape them into circles.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until they are lightly golden brown. Ensure the cookies cool down for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving to a cooling rack. This will help prevent the cookies from crumbling.
