Servings: 12 cookies; 6 servings | Suggested prep time: 10 minutes | Estimated cooking time: 18 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 medium very ripe bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Mash bananas thoroughly. Mix in oats, cinnamon and chocolate chips; rest 5 minutes so oats absorb moisture.
  3. Scoop into 12 mounds and flatten slightly; these cookies will not spread much.
  4. Bake 15–18 minutes, until set and lightly golden at the edges. Cool on the tray for 10 minutes.

Low-energy prep tip

Mash and mix in one bowl with a fork; use parchment to simplify cleanup.

Recipe notes

These are soft banana-oat bites rather than crisp cookies. Choose dairy-free chocolate for the vegan tag.

Dietary labels apply only when all packaged ingredients meet those requirements. Check labels and cross-contact guidance for your needs. Salt is optional where listed; follow your own care plan rather than using a recipe to set sodium intake.
