Ingredients:

• 2 Ripped Bananas, mashed 

• 1 Cup Rolled Oats

• 1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips, Rasins, or Chopped Nuts (Optional)

DIRECTIONS: (Makes 8-12 Cookies depending on preferred size)

1. Preheat Oven

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Cookie Ingredients

   • In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth. Add the rolled oats to the mashed bananas and mix well until all the oats are coated and a dough forms. If desired, fold in chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts for extra flavor.

3. Form Cookies

   • Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out about 1-2 tablespoons of the oat and banana mixture and shape it into a small cookie. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

4. Bake

   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.

5. Let Cool

   • 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.

6. Storage

   • Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies by individually wrapping them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and placing them in an airtight freezer bag for up to 2 months.

7. Serve and Enjoy!
