Easy Chocolate Oat Cookies
Easy Chocolate Oat Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 very ripe large bananas
- 1 cup quick oats
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cacao optional
- 1 Tablespoon flax seed
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla
- Optional: Handful of chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
Instructions
- Mash 2 ripe bananas in a bowl.
- Mix in 1-2 tbsp of unsweetened cacao powder and 1 cup of quick oats until a cookie dough-like batter is formed (the amount of oats you need depends on the size of your bananas, so start with 3/4 of a cup and add more as needed). The mixture will seem dry at first, but after a few minutes of mixing with a spoon it will turn into a nice consistency.
- Fold in any mix-ins you plan on adding to the batter (I added a large handful of chocolate chips).
- Place about 15 clumps of your cookie dough mixture evenly on your baking sheet. Flatten and mold them with your hands to form “cookie” shapes (these cookies will not flatten or change shape with baking).
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Notes
Enjoy!! Like most cookies, these are best when served warm, right out of the oven, but you can also store them in a storage container or storage bag for later.
