Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1–¼ cup gluten free rolled oats
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe medium banana, mashed (about 3.2 oz)
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoon peanut butter or any nut butter (unsweetened)
- 1 egg (or substitute with 1 flax egg)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, peanut butter, egg (or flax egg), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir well until the mixture forms a cohesive batter.
- Shape Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form cookie balls approximately 1½ to 2 tablespoons each. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie to about ½ inch thickness to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely before serving. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- You can substitute the egg with a flax egg to make the recipe vegan.
- Feel free to use any nut butter you prefer or have on hand but choose unsweetened varieties for the healthiest option.
- These cookies are soft and best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- If you want to add some extra flavor, you can mix in a small amount of raisins or finely chopped nuts.
- This recipe is naturally sweetened with banana and applesauce, so no additional sugar is needed.
