Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup (240 ml) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh blueberries
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie placement.
- Select ripe bananas and thoroughly mash them in a medium mixing bowl until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved with minimal lumps.
- Incorporate rolled oats, sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into the mashed bananas, stirring until ingredients form a uniform mixture.
- Delicately integrate fresh blueberries into the dough, using gentle folding techniques to preserve their integrity and prevent color bleeding.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to portion approximately 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, gently flattening each mound with the back of a spoon to create circular shapes with slight spacing between cookies.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, monitoring until cookies become set and develop golden-brown edges.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal texture development.
- Serve cookies warm or at room temperature, storing any remaining treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are super ripe for maximum natural sweetness and better binding properties in the cookies.
- Handle blueberries delicately to prevent color bleeding and maintain their plump, fresh texture during mixing.
- Try alternative sweeteners like agave or date syrup for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Use gluten-free oats to make these breakfast cookies suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
