Ingredients

  • The Binder:
  • 1 Ripe Banana Large
  • 2 tbsp Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 tbsp Raw Honey
  • The Texture & Crunch:
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Old Fashioned
  • 1/3 cup Roasted Peanuts Roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • Optional Finish:
  • A pinch of Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Create the Base
  • Mash: In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until it reaches a smooth, liquid-like consistency.
  • Mix: Add the peanut butter and honey to the banana. Whisk until the wet ingredients are fully emulsified.
  • Fold in the Dry Ingredients
  • Combine: Add the rolled oats, chopped peanuts, and dark chocolate chips into the bowl.
  • Stir: Mix with a spatula until the oats are thoroughly coated and the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
  • Shape the Cookies
  • Portion: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the tray.
  • Flatten: Gently press down on each scoop with the back of a spoon to form a cookie shape, as these will not spread much during baking.
  • The Bake
  • Preheat: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook: Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cookies feel firm to the touch.
  • The Finish
  • Cool: Remove from the oven and let them rest on the tray for 5 minutes.
  • Season: Sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt over the warm chocolate chips for a gourmet sweet-and-salty contrast.
