Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1–2 teaspoons chia seeds or ground flax (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup almond butter (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mash Banana: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, almond butter, chopped fresh strawberries, and optional chia or ground flax seeds into the mashed banana. Mix well to combine all ingredients uniformly.
- Scoop Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each scoop to form cookie shapes.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain soft.
- Cool and Store: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the tray. They will firm up as they cool. Store in an airtight container once cooled.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter if preferred.
- To add sweetness, consider mixing in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup before baking.
- For a vegan option, ensure the almond butter does not contain honey and omit any non-vegan additions.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be refrigerated for up to a week.
- Chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking can help the cookies hold their shape better.
