Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large sheetpan with parchment paper or a non-stick mat.

Step 2

Add the oats to a food processor and blend until broken up, pulse for 15-20 seconds. See photo above for how they should look once done.

Step 3

To a large bowl, add the banana and mash with a fork. Next, add the peanut butter and maple syrup and whisk until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the oats and mix again until combined. Use a tablespoon scoop to scoop the dough onto your sheetpan and then use your fingers to pat it down a little so the tops are flat. Optional: add a few chocolate chips or peanuts to the top.

Step 5

Bake cookies until bottoms are starting to brown, 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
