Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1/4 cup natural smooth peanut butter (preferably runny)
- 3 tablespoons honey or agave
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups traditional rolled oats
- 1/2 cup mixed seeds (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Good pinch of sea salt
- Good pinch of cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Mash banana: In a large bowl, mash the medium ripe banana thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
- Mix wet ingredients: Add the natural smooth peanut butter and honey to the mashed banana and stir together until well combined. If honey is hard, gently heat it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds before mixing.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, mixed seeds, chia seeds, sea salt, and cinnamon until all ingredients are evenly combined into a dough.
- Preheat oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Scoop cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spoon the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, aiming to make about 10 similarly sized cookies.
- Shape and top cookies: Flatten each cookie gently with the back of a spoon into circles. Sprinkle mini dark chocolate chips on top and press them lightly into the dough.
- Bake cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until they turn lightly golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before enjoying them as a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Notes
- If honey is too solid, warming it briefly helps with better mixing.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a different flavor.
- Mini dark chocolate chips are optional but add a nice touch of sweetness.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For a vegan version, use agave instead of honey.
