These super simple banana oatmeal peanut butter cookies are so easy to make. Delicious as a snack or naturally fruit-sweetened dessert. Just 4 ingredients, they're vegan, whole food plant-based and you don't need any flour, eggs or 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.
