Ingredients
-
2ripe bananas
-
⅓ cup (80 mL)peanut butter
-
½ tsp
-
1½ cups (120 g)quick oats*
-
2 Tbsp (10 g)unsweetened shredded coconut
-
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl.
- Then add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, stirring until combined.
- Add the remaining ingredients, and mix.
- Roll the dough into balls and then press each and form each ball into a cookie shape, as these cookies don't spread on their own in the oven. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the tops turn golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- * If you don’t have quick oats, pulse regular rolled oats in a blender or food processor until coarsely chopped.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Discussion & Rating
I also really love these. I use them as breakfast cookies, they're really filling! They're great to store in the freezer, freeze them individually. Then put them in the oven for like ~5 minutes and they're nice and warm again.
I agree they're a bit sticky when forming them but it's not really a problem for me :)
(also, love the updated site! Finally we can comment on individual recipes!)
Easy to make, quite sticky when you form the cookies. But the taste is very good and I like that there is no additional sugar despite the chocolate. Next time I will take cacoa nibs, I like the crunch and it's without sugar then.
Delicious healthy snack or dessert and perfect to batch bake for work/school lunches. I used dried apricots with mine. Will definitely make regularly as they are easy, wholesome pantry staples.
