Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork. Add the cocoa powder and rolled oats, then mix until all ingredients are well combined into a sticky dough.
- Scoop Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake: Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set and firm.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy as a healthy snack or dessert.

- For added texture, mix in a few dark chocolate chips or nuts.
