Low-energy prep tip

Dump raw ingredients in a dish and bake; no stove monitoring.

Recipe notes

Resting time: 10 minutes in addition to cooking. Brown rice needs a different liquid ratio and cooking time.

Banana Oat Chocolate Chip Cookie Drops
Untested recipe: quantities, servings and timings are suggested adaptations of the original meal idea and have not been kitchen-tested. Use the doneness checks below and adjust as needed.

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.
