Easiest Banana Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan, Plant-Based )

Ingredients
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 2 cups rolled oats
- optional: 1-2 tbsp powdered peanut butter
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips* – see notes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and line baking sheet with a silicone baking mat (or parchment paper).
- Add bananas to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork.
- Add remaining ingredients to the bowl, mix thoroughly.
- Scoop mixture onto lined baking sheet and reshape as needed. (We like to use a cookie scoop.)
- Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly browned on bottom.
- Allow to cool.
- Enjoy!
Note:
- The mixture will be a bit more wet than a traditional cookie batter. If the mixture seems too moist, simply add more oats 1-2 tbsp at a time and mix again.
- The powdered peanut butter is optional and the chocolate chips can also be omitted for a simple banana oat breakfast cookie.
- Other add-ins can also be used to suit your taste – raisins, nuts, seeds
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
- These cookies also freeze well.

I really need to try these. I love oatmeal. Can you add chia seeds?

I haven’t tried them with chia seeds, but I think that would work. If you give it a try, let me know how they turn out!

I made last night. I think my bananas were not ripe enough. I plan to make again as I love oatmeal.

We like to use bananas that are really ripe and have lots of brown spots on them – they are easier to mash and lend a sweeter taste as well!
