Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas They provide natural sweetness and moisture; applesauce can be substituted for a different flavor.
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce Acts as a binder and sweetener; mashed avocado offers a creamier texture instead.
  • 2 cups oats Adds bulk and texture; instant oats yield softer cookies, while rolled oats create a chewier bite.
  • 1/4 cup almond milk Moistens the mixture; any milk alternative like oat or soy works just as well.
For the Mix-Ins
  • 1/4 cup raisins or nuts Adds sweetness and crunch; swap with dried fruits or coconut flakes for variety.
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks Infuses rich flavor; can be replaced with dried cherries or omitted entirely for a simpler cookie.
For Flavor Enhancement
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the overall taste; no need for substitutions.
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon Adds warmth and spice; feel free to omit it if desired.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Gather your mixing bowls and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork until achieving a smooth consistency. Incorporate the applesauce into the mashed bananas, mixing well.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon into the mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Slowly add the oats to the banana mixture, stirring gently until well combined.
  5. Pour in the almond milk, blending it in until the dough is moistened. Fold in the raisins or nuts and dark chocolate chunks.
  6. Scoop portions of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie with the back of your spoon.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cookies are golden and firm to the touch.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
