Easy to Make - Preparing these healthy banana oat cookies requires only 3 simple ingredients and 5 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients needed and substitutions:

Quick cooking oats - You can use quick oats or old-fashioned oats for these oatmeal banana cookies.

Bananas -  Try to use an overripe banana. Look for the spotty banana they are usually the sweeter ones. 

Raisins and Chocolate Chips - These chewy cookies are great with raisins or chocolate chips mixed in.

I made a batch with dark chocolate chips as well as a batch with raisins. You could also try using some cacao nibs or even sprinkle in some pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds or even sunflower seeds. 

How to Make Vegan Oat Cookies

1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Peel your bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl.  Then smash them with a fork.

2: Add 2 cups of oats to your mashed banana; mix and stir together.

3: Next add in your raisins or chocolate chips and blend together.

4: Grab a large baking sheet pan lined with parchment paper and scoop your cookie dough with a cookie scoop onto the pan.

You will have little round dollops which you can bake this way or you can flatten with the bottom of a glass to make a cookie shape. 

5: Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack at room temperature.

Expert Tips

• Choose Ripe Bananas: Ensure your bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and a moist texture in your cookies.
• Opt for Oat Flour: Use oat flour for a gluten-free option or to add a hearty texture. It's rich in fiber and nutrients.
• Consider Almond Flour: For a nutty flavor and added nutritional boost, include almond flour in your recipe.
• Healthy Fats with Coconut Oil: Substitute traditional fats with coconut oil for a dose of healthy fats that promote satiety.
• Almond Butter Magic: Incorporate almond butter for a creamy texture and nutty taste. It's a great source of protein and healthy fats.
• Sunflower Seed Butter Option: Swap out almond butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free alternative. It adds a unique flavor profile.
• Cashew Butter Twist: Another nutty alternative is cashew butter. It brings a buttery richness to the cookies.
• Natural Sweeteners: Use mashed bananas and a touch of maple syrup as natural sweeteners instead of added sugars.
• Pinch of Salt: Enhance the flavors by adding a pinch of salt. It balances the sweetness and complements the ingredients.
• Vanilla Extract Boost: A touch of vanilla extract elevates the overall taste of your cookies. Ensure it's pure vanilla for the best flavor.
• Brown Sugar Hint: If you prefer a slightly deeper sweetness, add a bit of brown sugar. It complements the natural sweetness of bananas.
• No Added Sugar Focus: Keep your cookies low in added sugar to align with healthy eating goals, especially for those on Weight Watchers.
• Whole Wheat Flour Option: For added fiber, consider using whole wheat flour or a mix of whole wheat and oat flours.
• Experiment with Flours: Mix different flours like oat and almond for a unique texture and flavor combination.
• Vegan Butter Substitute: If you're looking for a buttery taste without animal products, try vegan butter as an alternative.
• Freezer-Safe Container: These cookies freeze well, so prepare a batch and store them in a freezer-safe container for convenient, quick breakfast or snacks.
• Airtight Sealed Container: Keep your cookies fresh by storing them in an airtight container. This prevents them from drying out.
• Meal Prep Friendly: Incorporate these cookies into your meal prep routine for a healthy and convenient snack option.
• Extra Cookies for Later: Double the recipe and save extra cookies for those times when you need a wholesome treat on hand.
• Mindful Portioning: Even though these cookies are healthy, be mindful of portion sizes. Enjoy them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
