Peanut butter oatmeal banana cookies
This is an easy recipe for peanut butter oatmeal banana cookies. I am quite sure that you have on hand all these ingredients: oatmeal, peanut butter, and banana. Isn't it? If yes, let's make these 3 ingredients healthy, vegan cookies! Really, it's just a more delicious form of your oatmeal that you eat for breakfast (cookie form, to be more precise)! Also, you can add extra ingredients. I added some walnuts for extra protein. But feel free to add other nuts, seeds, dried fruits of your choice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (8 tbsp)
Optional ingredients
- 0.3 cup walnuts (or other nuts, seeds, dried fruits)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 C/350 F
- Blend the oats into a food processor until they transform into flour (this is an optional step, but very recommended)
- Into a bowl, mash the banana. Then, add the peanut butter, oat flour, and any other extra ingredients that you like
- Mix everything together until a cookie dough is formed
- Take 2-3 tbsp of cookie dough and form a cookie shape. You should in total have around 9 cookies
- Bake at 175 C/350 F for 15 minutes until slightly golden
- Let them cool on a baking grid for about 10-20 minutes
Notes
- You can buy directly oat flour if you don't have a food processor or you don't want to invest time in this.
- The cookies are not very sweet. Add some extra liquid sweetener if you like. For example, maple syrup.
- These 3 ingredients are the base for the cookies, but you can add extra ingredients to your peanut butter oatmeal banana cookies if you like (maximum 0.5 cups of extra ingredients). For example, you can add walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, raisins or other fried fruits, coconut flakes, and so on.
