Banana Oat Cookies
One of the first cookies I tried after going vegan and it still surprises me. This 4-ingredients no-fuss banana oats cookies can be yours under 25 minutes (and that includes baking).
The procedure is so simple. Mash the bananas, mix all the ingredients, give it a shape of a cookie and let it bake.
If you don’t like the extra sugar, you can skip the maple syrup and use ripe bananas instead.
After mixing everything up, I let it sit (preferably in the fridge) for 10-15 minutes.
This helps oats absorb the flavors of bananas and cinnamon.
Then I let it bake for 12-15 minutes. And just like that, you made yourself soft, mushy, sweet, and delicious banana oat cookies.
This recipe is also extremely customizable. You can add your favorite dried fruits (like raisins, plums, cranberries) or even nuts (like cashews, peanuts, pistachios) and so on. 🙂

Can these be stored on the counter or do they have to be refrigerated?
Hi Tammie, I recommend you refrigerate them if you’re making large batches. For smaller batches, you can store on counter for up to 2 days. Hope it helps!
