Open in Pepper →Oat Cookies You Can Make On A Monday
A cookie built on rolled oats and mashed banana is the kind of thing you can hand a kid on the way out the door. No creaming butter, no chilling dough, just a bowl and a spoon.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the bananas on the counter have gone spotty and lunchboxes need filling, or when they want something sweet in the house that holds up to breakfast.
Every recipe here leans on oats and fruit instead of a lot of sugar: healthy breakfast oatmeal cookies with peanut butter, soft and healthy banana oatmeal cookies made with apple sauce, vegan coconut oat cookies bound with flaxseed, and strawberry-banana oat cookies.
Quick Tips
- 1
Use very ripe bananas
Wait until the peels are heavily spotted, then mash 2 medium bananas to about 1 cup — that's where most of the sweetness comes from.
- 2
Let the dough rest
Sit the mixed dough 10 minutes so the oats drink up the moisture and the cookies hold their shape on the sheet.
- 3
Flatten before baking
These don't spread, so press each mound to about 1/2 inch thick with the back of a spoon before they go in the oven.
- 4
Cool before moving them
Leave them on the pan 5 minutes after baking; banana and oat cookies are soft and will fall apart if you lift them hot.
