Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free, if needed)
- ½ cup almond butter
- 2 large bananas, mashed
- ¼ cup strawberries, chopped
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Station: Ignite the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat for optimal cookie performance.
- Fusion Mixing: Combine rolled oats, almond butter, and mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl, blending thoroughly until a smooth, cohesive dough emerges with consistent texture.
- Flavor Infusion: Gently fold chopped strawberries and chocolate chips into the mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough for balanced taste in every bite.
- Cookie Crafting: Shape 12 uniform dough balls, pressing them delicately onto the prepared baking surface to create classic cookie formations with gentle, even pressure.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, monitoring until golden edges develop and signify perfect culinary completion.
- Cooling Finale: Remove the tray from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the baking surface, enabling them to set and develop their ultimate texture and flavor profile.
Notes
- Customize Texture: Adjust oat consistency by grinding them slightly for smoother cookies or keeping them whole for a more rustic, hearty texture.
- Control Moisture: Fresh strawberries can release liquid, so pat them dry with paper towels to prevent soggy cookie bottoms and maintain ideal crispness.
- Temperature Matters: Let ingredients like almond butter and bananas reach room temperature for easier mixing and more consistent dough formation.
- Storage Strategy: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or refrigerate to extend freshness up to a week, separating layers with parchment paper.
