Equipment

  • 2 cookie sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Mixing spoon
  • 1/2 cup measure
  • Teaspoon
  • Cookie scoop or regular spoon
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or nut butter of your choice)
  • 3 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried fruit (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place bananas in a medium mixing bowl and mash them up with a mixing spoon until no large chunks remain. Add all other ingredients to bowl and stir to combine.
  • Using a cookie scoop or regular spoon, scoop out even mounds of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on parchment-lined cookie sheets, leaving a bit of space in between so the cookies can spread as they bake.
  • Using the back of your mixing spoon, lightly smash down each mound of dough.
  • Place in 350 degree oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cookies are set and lightly golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

  1. DISH DENSITY: Low
  2. Feel free to use any type of nut butter, or even sunflower seed butter if your little one has a nut allergy.
  3. Freeze these cookies for up to three months. Let defrost at room temperature or pull out of the freezer and microwave for 30 or so seconds before serving.
  4. You can also add chocolate chips in place of the dried fruit for a little extra-special treat.
