Easy banana cookies
New to baking? This easy, five-ingredient breakfast or snack cookie comes together in minutes and cleans up quickly, too. It’s also a great way to use up overripe bananas. Bake a minute or two less for softer cookies, and up to 15 minutes total for more solid ones. Freeze any extras for grab-and-go snacks. Customize the cookies by swapping raisins for the cranberries, tossing in some mini chocolate chips or sprinkling them with some chopped nuts.
Ingredients:
2 medium, very ripe bananas
1 cup uncooked rolled oats
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 pinch table salt (optional)
¼ cup dried cranberries
Directions:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mash bananas. Add oats, cinnamon and salt, if using, and mix very well. Fold in cranberries.
Step 3
Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough onto prepared pan and repeat with remaining dough to make 14 cookies (leave an inch between each cookie).
Step 4
Bake until firm, about 10 to 12 minutes.
