I’m and coming to you in this last week of December with a healthy banana bread cookie! YES it really does taste like banana bread in the shape of a cookie. 😉
I know we just did banana muffins last week... and that's what put me on a banana baking kick! I hope you don't mind 😉

Here is how we make em’ …. First start by making the oat flour, you simply add the oats into a food processor (I use a mini one) and pulse until the they get broken up and turn into a flour. You do not need to worry about it being completely perfect and smooth because you will be adding full unprocessed oat into the cookie as well so a little bit of texture won’t even be noticeable!
Add all the dry ingredients into the bowl and then start mashin’ the bananas!!! 😉 PLEASE make sure you measure the mashed bananas otherwise you could end up with a mess of a cookie since bananas come in many different sizes.
Another thing about the bananas, make sure they are spotty and ripe! They should mash really easily.
Then you literally just add everything into 1 big bowl and mix it up. I used a spoon to scoop out the cookie mixture onto the baking sheet because this dough is very sticky, then I just used the back of the spoon to flatten and shape the cookie.
I decided to make smaller cookies but if you like big breakfast cookies/snack cookies then feel free to make them bigger. (not too huge or it won’t cook, this recipe got me 6 small cookies so I would say don’t make them any bigger than getting 4 cookies out of this mixture)
TIP: make these in small batches and store them in a sealed container for now more than 2 days TOPS! Banana cookies don’t stay as fresh as the average cookie does that’s why I like to make them in smaller batches.
