Ingredients

Scale

2 large Ripe Bananas, mashed
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamo
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (Optional)
1/4 cup Chopped Nuts or Seeds (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat
  2. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas using a fork. Aim for a smooth consistency with no large lumps

  5. If you are using optional add-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit, gently fold them into the mixture now
  6. Drop spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are set
  8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
  9. Serve these delightful gluten free breakfast cookies warm or at room temperature

Notes

Use overripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and binding.

Avoid overmixing the batter once dry ingredients are added.

Always use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to firm up properly.

Make a double batch for meal prep; they freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
