Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking, not instant)
1/2 cup raisins
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or a pinch of salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, and raisins. If using, stir in the cinnamon or salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is sticky.
- Drop spoonfuls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to your desired thickness.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set. They will be soft when they come out of the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up.
Notes
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to add 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), chocolate chips, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture. A dash of vanilla extract also enhances the taste!
- Make Ahead Tip: You can mix the dough ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This makes fresh-baked cookies even quicker!
- Storage Suggestions: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.
