  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat mat or coat with some cooking spray. Using the back of a fork, mash bananas in a medium bowl until they are broken down.

Notes

  1. Storage: Keep cookies stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
  2. Freezing Instructions: Cookies can be frozen up to 3 months, then thawed overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
  3. Oats: Be sure to use a combo of quick and rolled oats in this recipe. Quick oats are more finely ground up whole oats, so they are slightly powdery. They are sold right next to the whole rolled oats. You can also make quick oats at home – simply measure 1 cup of whole oats and pulse in the blender or food processor about 5 times.
  4. Can I use steel-cut oats? I don't recommend it. They are too hard and will not soften enough.
  5. Baking Instructions: These cookies will not spread in the oven, so be sure to form them into a cookie before placing them on a baking sheet.
