Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond butter
• 1–2 teaspoons chia seeds or ground flax (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Mash the banana: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until it reaches a smooth consistency, which will help bind the cookie dough.
3. Mix ingredients: Add the rolled oats, unsweetened almond butter, chopped fresh strawberries, and if using, the chia or ground flax seeds to the mashed banana. Stir everything together well until fully combined.
4. Shape the cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon to form round cookie shapes of even thickness.
5. Bake cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly firm but the centers remain soft for a chewy texture.
6. Cool and store: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container for up to several days.

Notes

• You can substitute almond butter with other nut butters like peanut or cashew butter if preferred.
• Adding chia seeds or flaxseed is optional but increases fiber and omega-3 content.
• Ensure bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and soft texture.
• These cookies are best eaten within a few days or can be frozen for longer storage.
• For a sweeter version, a small amount of honey or maple syrup can be added if desired.
