Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups oats (old-fashioned or quick oats)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup raisins or chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (Lily’s brand recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mash & Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Then stir in the unsweetened apple sauce, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined for a flavorful base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients & Mix: Add the oats, almond milk, raisins or nuts, and dark chocolate chunks into the banana mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined into a cookie dough consistency.
  4. Scoop & Shape Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of the spoon to form cookie shapes for even baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are set and lightly golden around the edges.
  6. Cool & Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Swap raisins or nuts for coconut flakes, seeds, or extra dark chocolate chunks based on preference or dietary needs.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage to maintain freshness.
  • For a nut-free version, omit nuts and increase raisins or seeds as a substitute.
