Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mash 2 medium ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well until completely combined and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Mix in 1 1/2 cups rolled oats and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, folding gently until evenly incorporated. If desired, fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
  4. Step 4: Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and gently press each cookie to flatten slightly.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days.
