Description
These Easy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Banana Cookies use only 5 simple ingredients and are gluten-free and vegan-friendly! A healthy treat for kids and adults!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Banana, Mashed (240g Or About 2 Very Large Bananas)
- ½ cups Creamy Natural Peanut Butter, Plus Additional For Drizzling, If Desired
- ¼ cups Coconut Sugar
- 18 Tablespoons (packed, 115g) Quick-cooking Oats (Not Rolled, Gluten-free If Needed)
- ¼ cups Roasted, Salted Peanuts, Roughly Chopped
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325ºF and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
In a large bowl, whisk banana, peanut butter and coconut sugar until well combined. Stir in oats and stir until well combined. Finally, stir in peanuts. Dough will be a little bit wet and sticky; this is normal.
Use a cookie scoop to drop by heaping 1-tablespoon balls onto the prepared pan and use a fork to press them out about 1/2-inch thick, making sure to pack the edges together so the cookies hold their shape.
Bake until edges are golden brown and top feels set and springy, about 25–30 minutes. Let cool on the pan completely.
Drizzle with peanut butter, if desired, and devour!
