My family loves cookies. Don't we all love cookies? Maybe you're not a cookie monster but perhaps you want to bake some super quick and nourishing cookies for a loved one? I've got your recipe!
These Banana Bread Cookies could not be any easier. Simple, whole ingredients - easy enough that a second grader could make them (my daughter is in grade 2 and she makes these with my help) and yes, they taste like banana bread but in the cookie form!
- Perfect grab and go snack
- Nut-free making them school safe
- Gluten-free if using GF oats
- Vegan, no eggs
- A total crowd pleaser!
You can really jazz up this recipe too. It's a great base for adding pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried cranberries - you can get creative with it and have some fun. They are soft and chewy, and the chocolate chips melt in your mouth.
Here is the recipe:

Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 3 large bananas, mashed (for softer cookies, add more banana)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips* or both!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place oats in a food processor or blender and blitz until you have a flour-like texture.
- In a large bowl, add oats, mashed banana and melted coconut oil and mix together. Fold in raisins or chocolate chips, or both! If the batter is too thick, then add water 1 tbsp at a time.
- Spoon batter by heaping tablespoon into hands and form into a ball and then flatten with your hands on the cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
*If using chocolate chips, look for a sugar-free brand such as Lily’s Sweets chocolate chips.

Hi Joy. I’m wondering if you would tell me what brand of oats you use? I want to try these. Love your recipes!❤️
ReplyI buy One Degree Organics or Anita's. Enjoy!
Made these cookies this morning, for the first time. I didn't have raisins,so I used dried blueberries. Still very tasty! Thanks Joy I love recipes with 4-5 simple ingredients
ReplyDried blueberries, great idea!! Glad you enjoyed this recipe Rose!
Do I use less than 3 cups of oat flour if I'm not using whole oats in food processor
ReplyYes I would use a little less. However, I haven't tested it with oat flour which is a much finer texture so I can't say for sure. Maybe go with 2.5 cups oat flour and see how you like the texture?
Just made these. Is it bad that I ate four of them? Yummmmm
ReplyGlad you enjoyed them!
