These Vegan Oatmeal Cookies feature a ripe banana, oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, and chocolate chips. Simple to prepare, they are a delicious anytime treat.
Mash the banana, then add the peanut butter, maple, oats, flax, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Mix everything well.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Scoop up the cookie dough with a cookie scoop. You will get about 7 cookies. Feel free to double the recipe if you want more.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and drop the cookie dough onto the tray.
Gently flatten each cookie and add more chocolate chips on top, if you wish.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350F, until the edges start to get a little golden.
Top the cookies with some flakey salt and enjoy!
Notes
Dip the cookie scoop in water in between portions so the dough doesn’t stick.No banana should ever go to waste. Once too ripe to eat, peel and store them in the freezer to use in these cookies or smoothies. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw them on the kitchen counter for a couple hours prior to making your cookies.
