Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. If using, mix in maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Stir in the cinnamon and gluten-free rolled oats until well combined. Optionally, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
  4. Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into cookie forms since they won’t spread during baking.
  5. Bake for 12–14 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
