These super simple and sugar-free cookies with mashed banana, oatmeal and peanut butter are a delicious, healthy snack or dessert. Just 4 ingredients, they're vegan, whole food plant-based, gluten-free, requiring no flour, no egg and no oil.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel and mash bananas in a medium bowl with a potato masher or fork. Make sure they are well-mashed, with only small chunks remaining.
2 ripe bananas
Add oats, peanut butter and vanilla extract to the mashed banana and stir everything together well.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (Cookies will stick if you skip this step).
Drop spoonfuls of batter onto baking tray and then shape with your fingers. Cookies do not spread out while baking, so shape them into the width and height you want them to be. This recipe will make about 16-18 small, 2-inch wide cookies.
Bake cookies for 20 minutes, until the cookies feel firm to the touch.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before enjoying.
