4-Ingredient Vegan Banana Oat Cookies

4-Ingredient Vegan Banana Oat Cookies
Soft, chewy banana oat cookies made with ripe bananas, rolled oats, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Use dairy-free vegan chocolate chips; for a gluten-free batch, choose certified gluten-free oats and check the other ingredient labels.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
- 120 g (1½ cups) rolled oats (certified gluten-free oats if required)
- 60 g (¼ cup) peanut butter
- 50 g (about ⅓ cup) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a tray with baking paper.
- Mash the bananas until smooth.
- Mix in the peanut butter, then stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
- Scoop onto the tray and flatten each cookie slightly. They will not spread much.

- Let cookies rest on tray for 10 minutes before moving to rack to cool completely.

Can you make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes: use certified gluten-free rolled oats and check that your peanut butter and vegan chocolate chips are also gluten-free. Ordinary oats may come into contact with wheat, barley or rye during processing, so a flourless recipe is not automatically gluten-free.
What texture should you expect?
These are soft banana oat cookies, not crisp biscuits. Flatten each portion before baking because the mixture will not spread much.
