Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)
• 2 ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• optional 4 tbsp almond or peanut butter
• optional 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   If baking the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 2

   First mash the bananas with a fork in a large mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Add the oats, chocolate chips, and any optional ingredients (such as nut butter or salt), and stir to form an eggless oatmeal cookie dough.

4. 4

   Refrigerate the dough until firm enough to scoop out with a spoon or cookie scoop.

5. 5

   For no bake banana cookies, simply freeze the cookies until hard. For baked cookies, place the unbaked cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake on the oven's center rack for 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before handling, as they firm up while cooling.
