Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes (ovens vary)
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 small overripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• 2 cups rolled oats

Optional Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
• dash of salt 
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, peanut butter and oats (and the maple syrup and salt, if using). Stir to combine. (Oats are naturally gluten-free, but if you need to be sure, use gluten-free oats.)
2. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using. (You can use milk chocolate, semisweet or dark chocolate chips.)
3. Drop by tablespoons-full onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets and flatten a bit (these cookies will generally stay the same shape and size as how they're formed). Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, until just turning lightly brown. Do not over-bake. (The number of cookies depends on the size of the cookies you form. I made 18 cookies.)
4. Allow to cool a bit before serving. Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter, or in the refrigerator or freezer.
