Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) rolled oats
- 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) blueberries
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) honey or maple syrup
- 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
Spices and Seasoning:
- 2.5 milliliters (½ teaspoon) cinnamon
- 1 small pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly mash ripe bananas with a fork until they reach a smooth, creamy consistency with minimal lumps.
- Incorporate rolled oats, fresh blueberries, honey or maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a delicate pinch of salt into the mashed banana mixture, stirring until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Using a spoon, carefully dollop the oatmeal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining sufficient spacing between each cookie to allow for proper spreading during baking.
- With the back of the spoon, gently press down on each cookie portion to create a uniform, slightly flattened shape that will promote even cooking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and centers that appear set and firm.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to rest for approximately 5 minutes, which helps them firm up and makes transferring easier.
- Carefully move the cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to cool completely and develop their final texture.
- Serve the breakfast cookies warm or at room temperature, and store any remaining cookies in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain their freshness and flavor.
