Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten free, if needed)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup almond butter (can substitute any nut or seed butter of choice)
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or prepare a Silpat cookie sheet and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the cookies after baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed bananas, and almond butter thoroughly until a dough forms. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and chocolate chips at the end, ensuring even distribution without crushing the berries.
- Shape Cookies: Form 12 small balls of dough and place each on the prepared baking sheet. Press each ball lightly to shape it into a cookie approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick to promote even baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown, indicating they are cooked through and slightly crisp on the outside.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking tray. Cooling helps the cookies set and prevents them from crumbling when handled.
Notes
- Storage: These eggless strawberry cookies do not store well at room temperature. Keep leftover cookies refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- Freezing: For longer storage, place leftover cookies in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm slightly before serving.
