3-Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 3 large ripe bananas, mashed (approximately 375g or 1½ cups)
02 - 125g (½ cup) almond butter or peanut butter
03 - 200g (2 cups) quick oats or rolled oats

→ Optional Additions

04 - 80-125g (⅓ to ½ cup) chocolate chips
05 - 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
06 - 1 pinch sea salt

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.
02 - In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the bananas until mostly smooth with minimal chunks remaining.
03 - Add the nut butter and oats to the mashed bananas, mixing until a sticky, cohesive dough forms.
04 - Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping as desired. Note that these cookies won't spread during baking.
05 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges turn slightly golden-brown.
06 - Allow cookies to cool for at least 15 minutes before carefully removing from the baking sheet with a spatula.

# Notes:

01 - These cookies rely on banana for natural sweetness and binding, making them a healthier alternative to traditional cookies.
02 - The texture will be softer and chewier than conventional cookies due to the absence of flour and sugar.
