- 3 Bananas Peeled
- 200 g Rolled oats
- 100 g Smooth peanut butter
- 50 g Runny honey
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 40g Chocolate chips Optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C.

- Scoop out into 8 cookie shapes on a lined baking tray. (Press the remaining chocolate chips in if using).
- Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool before moving from the baking tray to allow them to set.
Notes
Lining the tin: Use baking paper (not greaseproof paper) to line your baking tray to avoid sticking problems
Bananas: These need to be very ripe for mashing, NOT firm or green at all. The banana skins should be very speckled, or (ideally) almost totally brown or black on the skins. Think ‘past their best’ as a piece of fruit for snacking on
Chocolate chips: You can leave these out if you prefer, but they do add a bit of deliciousness. Feel free to experiment with what you add into the mixture. For example, dried apricots instead of the choc chips etc
Batch cook: If you want a bigger batch of cookies, you could freeze the baked cookies and take them out to defrost the night before you’ll eat them, which is so handy for busy mornings
Quantities: This recipe makes 8 BIG cookies. They’ll be good the next day if stored in an airtight container. If they are a little dry, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds to refresh them
