- 3 bananas (peeled)
- 200 g rolled oats
- 100 g smooth peanut butter
- 50 g runny honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 40 g chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180℃ fan/200℃ conventional/ Gas Mark 6/350°F to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly, then add rolled oats, smooth peanut butter, runny honey, and ground cinnamon. Mix everything together very well until fully combined. If using chocolate chips, add half of them now and stir in.
- Shape Cookies: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Scoop the mixture into 8 evenly sized cookie shapes and place them on the tray. Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie for extra chocolate flavor.
- Bake Cookies: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 20 minutes until they are set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking tray. This helps them firm up properly before handling and serving.
