6 Ingredient Chocolate Oat Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 super ripe bananas — the riper, the sweeter the cookie
- ½ cup almond butter — or any nut or seed butter
- teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder
- 2 cups of rolled oats, quick cooking works as well
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or extra sweetener is optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mash the banana and add the first five ingredients to a bowl and give everything a mix.
- Add the chocolate chips and fold them in. Take an ice-cream scooper and scoop 6-8 cookies depending on how big/small you scoop and place them onto the baking sheet.
- Press down with your hands or the back of a spoon and flatten them into a round and equal disc as these cookies will not spread out.
- Bake at 350F for 12 minutes, let them cool and enjoy with extra almond butter or as is.
These cookies are delicious! I subbed cashew butter for the almond butter, added 2 tbs of ground flax seed, and some pumpkin seeds for crunch. I plan to freeze some of them. Thank you so much for the recipe! It’s a winner!
Hello Sneji. Can I use normal butter instead of any nut butters?
Absolutely hun, any you like
OMG! Just finished taking these out of the oven, smell heavenly and couldn’t wait for a complete cool down; had to take a bite…so yummy! Not too sweet, just perfect like you said for an afternoon pick me up or as added source of fibre, protein in the morning. You did it again Sneji
