Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free, if needed)
- 2 large bananas, mashed
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by setting the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and lining a baking tray with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- Create a creamy base by thoroughly blending rolled oats, mashed bananas, and smooth peanut butter in a large mixing bowl until the ingredients form a consistent texture.
- Gently incorporate fresh blueberries into the mixture, carefully folding them to distribute evenly without crushing the delicate fruit.
- Shape the cookie dough into 12 uniform balls, placing them strategically on the prepared baking tray with enough space between each cookie.
- Use gentle hand pressure or the back of a spoon to flatten each dough ball into a classic cookie silhouette, ensuring an even thickness for consistent baking.
- Transfer the tray to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and a slightly soft center as indicators of perfect doneness.
- After removing from the oven, allow the cookies to rest on the baking tray for 10 minutes, which helps them firm up and prevents potential crumbling.
- Complete the cooling process by transferring the cookies to a wire rack, letting them reach room temperature and achieving the ideal texture for serving.
Notes
- These wholesome cookies pack a nutritious punch with rolled oats, fresh blueberries, and protein-rich peanut butter.
- Mashing ripe bananas creates natural sweetness and helps bind the ingredients without adding refined sugar.
- Gentle folding keeps delicate blueberries intact, preventing them from breaking and turning the entire batch purple.
- Pressing cookies flat ensures even baking and creates a classic, rustic cookie shape with crispy edges.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- Perfect for quick breakfasts, post-workout snacks, or a guilt-free dessert that satisfies sweet cravings.
