Whether you're a beginner in the kitchen or an experienced cook, you'll find this recipe incredibly straightforward and satisfying.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies will bake evenly.
- Peel the bananas and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash them until they reach a smooth consistency. A few small lumps are fine, but you want to make sure that most of the banana is well-mashed.
- Add the oats to the mashed bananas. Stir the mixture with a spoon or spatula until the oats are evenly distributed and fully incorporated into the banana.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon to help them bake evenly. Aim for about 2-inch (5 cm) rounds.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Your 2-ingredient banana-oat cookies are ready to enjoy! They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor and easier mashing.
- Feel free to add in extras like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for additional flavor and texture.
- For evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough.
- Bake the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
These 2-ingredient banana-oat cookies are not only quick and easy to make, but they also pack a nutritious punch. Perfect for a guilt-free snack or breakfast on the go, they showcase how simple ingredients can come together to create something truly delicious.
