Ingredients
1 1/4cupsmashed ripe banana (2 very large bananas, about 290g weighed without peel)
1/2cuppeanut butter (I use natural, no sugar added)
1Tbsp. honey or coconut sugar (optional)
2cupsquick-cooking oats
1/8tsp.salt
1/4cupchocolate chips(I use semi-sweet or dark), plus a few extra to sprinkle on top
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Peel bananas and mash in a medium mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, including optional honey or sugar if using, and stir to combine.
Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop approximately 20 tablespoon-size spoonfuls onto a cookie shape and flatten with a spatula. Press a few chocolate chips into the top of each cookie, if desired.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cookies have set and are just beginning to lighty brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes and then remove from cookie sheet.
For optimal freshness, store leftover cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
