Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup raisins or other mix-ins (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mash the Bananas:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your cookies will be!
3. Combine Ingredients:
Add the rolled oats to the mashed bananas and stir well to combine. If you want to add extra flavor and texture, toss in raisins, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut.
4. Let the Mixture Rest:
Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes. This gives the oats time to absorb moisture, helping to bind the cookies together.
5. Scoop and Shape:
Using a spoon, scoop spoonfuls of the oatmeal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart. If you prefer thinner cookies, flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
6. Bake:
Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
7. Cool and Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious vegan oatmeal cookies as a wholesome snack!
