Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 large or 2 small very ripe bananas (3/4 cup mashed)
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (the drippy kind with just peanuts and salt)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup quick oats
- Optional mix-ins: 1/4 cup blueberries or 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for toddlers and older)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana well, getting out as many lumps as possible.
- Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla well.
- Stir in the oats. Stir in any mix-ins, if you're using them.
- Scoop the dough by 3 tbsp scoops onto the baking sheet. Flatten with the back of your spoon into cookie shapes, since they will not spread while baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing or storing.
Notes
- The riper the banana, the sweeter the cookies will be, so go for bananas that have at least some brown spots.
- Store cookies in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Note: These cookies are not sweet or crispy like a traditional cookie. They are more akin to a soft granola bar and are meant to be a healthy option for babies and toddlers.
