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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash ripe bananas with brown spots to measure out 3/4 cup.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together 3/4 cup mashed bananas with maple syrup and vanilla. 
  4. Add the oats, oat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the banana/maple syrup mixture.  
  5. Stir to combine, then fold in the chopped walnuts.
  6. 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.
  7. Then shape the dough mounds into cookie shapes.
  8. 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.
