I love meal prepping these cookies to enjoy for a couple of days throughout the week! These cookies are great as a snack, for dessert or even for breakfast.

They are sweetened naturally with bananas and whatever small amount of sugar there is in the chocolate chips. You could even use sugar free chocolate chips if you'd like.

Banana Oatmeal Cookies are no traditional cookie. They are soft on the inside and have a strong banana flavor. If you hate bananas, I wouldn't make these. But, if you're here... I assume you love bananas. 🙂

ingredients for banana oatmeal cookies

Ingredients in this recipe

mashed banana - I wouldn't use super yellow or green bananas. Spotty-brown bananas are best for this recipe. The more ripe the bananas, the sweeter the cookie.

all natural creamy almond butter - You can also use all natural creamy peanut butter if you'd prefer.

old fashioned rolled oats - Use gluten free oats if necessary.

mini chocolate chips - I like using mini chocolate chips for this recipe, but larger ones work too.

A complete list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is located on the recipe card below.

Expert Tips

Mash the bananas very well. The cookie dough will be too dry if you have large pieces of banana.

You can add a tablespoon of sweetener if you'd like.

Refrigerate the cookie dough for 15 minutes before forming into cookies.

These cookies will not spread in the oven so make sure you flatten them.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes.

An important note about the cookie dough

The cookie dough will be more wet since there is no flour. It’s slightly more difficult to work with.

To help with this, refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes before forming into cookies.

Scoop the dough with a medium sized cookie scoop. Place the dough in between your hands to squeeze it together and roll it to form a dough ball. Then, gently press to flatten. Place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Repeat until all the dough has been used. You can also just drop spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet and shape each spoonful into a cookie-like shape.

Storage Instructions

Store these cookies on the kitchen counter in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Refrigerate the cookies for 4-5 days. Freeze the cookies for up to 3 months.

      Do you think I could make this with PB 2 powder if I mix it first.

        Maybe. You will have to play around with the texture.

        Yes. You can also use all natural creamy peanut butter if you'd prefer.

    These were great. I made some without chocolate chips (some with!) and added cinnamon. The almond butter is delicious for this recipe, definitely recommend trying it. It made about 16 cookies that won’t last very long 😋 thank you, you rock!

      I haven't tried, but it should work if the texture is similar to almond butter!

    These were sooo good. I shared them with my client that I am caregiver for and she absolutely loved them. I love their simplicity but their flavor is so enjoyable.
