Banana Oat Energy Cookies

Level: Easy - Serves 12

These soft banana oat cookies are a simple way to enjoy a naturally sweet snack without relying on heavily processed ingredients. Made with rolled oats, banana, and cinnamon, they work well as a quick breakfast option, post-workout snack, or healthier dessert for busy weekdays.

Ingredients

2 bananas, mashed

¼ cup milk

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon honey

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats, or as needed

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon baking powder

⅛ teaspoon salt

Optional additions: raisins, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, peanut butter, or extra honey drizzle

Method:

• STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• STEP 2: In a medium bowl, mix the mashed bananas, milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
• STEP 3: Stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. If the batter feels too thin, add a few extra oats until the mixture thickens slightly.
• STEP 4: Spoon small portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
• STEP 5: Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the tops look dry and the edges become lightly golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
