Banana Oatmeal Cookies
from kristineskitchenblog.com
These Banana Oatmeal Cookies are made with oats, mashed banana, cinnamon and honey. I love to add chocolate chips for extra sweetness; the chocolate-banana combo is so good! Raisins and walnuts are also delicious in these cookies. They freeze wonderfully for quick grab-and-go snacks.

Servings: 36 cookies
Calories: 95kcal
- 2 ¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour*
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana about 3 medium bananas
- ⅓ cup honey
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips mini or regular size
- ½ cup chopped walnuts optional
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together oats, flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together mashed banana, honey, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined.
Gently stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using. The dough will be moist.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets. Use your fingers to gently flatten each cookie a little, since they won't flatten on their own during baking.
Bake 10-12 minutes, until set and barely golden. (If baking more than one pan at a time, be sure to rotate the pans halfway through the baking time.) Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- You can make your own oat flour in your food processor. For 1 cup of oat flour, process 1 heaping cup of old-fashioned oats until finely ground, about 1 minute.
- Nutrition estimate includes the optional walnuts.
