Delicious and chewy Chocolate Chip Banana Oatmeal Cookies made with wholesome ingredients like ripe bananas, almond butter, rolled oats, and studded with chocolate chips and walnuts. These cookies are naturally sweetened with maple syrup and perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast treat.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 16 cookies

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed (approx 3/4 cup mashed)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (can substitute peanut butter)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste, stirring until fully combined into a smooth mixture.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, salt, cinnamon (if using), chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts. Mix these ingredients well to ensure even distribution.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet banana mixture to the dry oat mixture and stir together until all ingredients are well incorporated into a sticky dough.
  5. Shape Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down each cookie with your hands to slightly flatten them for even baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Substitute almond butter with peanut butter if preferred or due to allergies.
  • Use gluten-free rolled oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Optional cinnamon adds warmth and depth but can be omitted.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For extra chewiness, slightly underbake the cookies and allow them to set as they cool.
