Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Everything Together
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork. Add in the oats, blueberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything together until fully combined. The mixture will be thick and slightly sticky.
Tip: If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer to avoid them bleeding into the batter.
3. Shape the Cookies
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the batter onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of your spoon to form cookie shapes—they won’t spread much in the oven.
4. Bake to Perfection
Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
5. Let Them Cool
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and develop a nice chewy texture.
