Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • fork for mashing bananas
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • spoon or cookie scoop

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 0.33 cup dark chocolate chips or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  • Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  • Add oats, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently until just combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips or walnuts if using.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb moisture.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly.
  • Bake for 13–15 minutes until lightly golden and set.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and texture. Let the batter rest before baking to help oats absorb moisture. Do not overmix. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
