Description
These vegan oatmeal banana cookies combine ripe bananas, rolled oats, cinnamon, and walnuts to make an easy sweet treat that's oil-free.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup mashed ripe (brown spotted) banana (about 2 medium bananas)
- 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup (100 grams) rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
- 1/2 cup (55 grams) oat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (52 grams) walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash ripe bananas with brown spots to measure out 3/4 cup.
- In a large bowl, stir together 3/4 cup mashed bananas with maple syrup and vanilla.
- Add the oats, oat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the banana/maple syrup mixture.
- Stir to combine, then fold in the chopped walnuts.
- The dough will be wet and sticky. Scoop out your dough (about 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons per cookie) and place it on a prepared baking tray.
- Then shape the dough mounds into cookie shapes.
- Bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until the tops are firm to the touch.
Notes
The darker and more spotted the bananas are, the sweeter they'll be.
Use a fork or damp hands if needed to shape the cookies.
