Ingredients

  • 3 bananas ~ mashed
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter I used natural crunchy peanut butter. Cashew, SunButter, and Almond butter are options too.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats certified gluten-free if needed
  • 3-4 tbsp unsweetened coconut
  • 3 Tbsp oat flour just grind up some oats
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips allergy-friendly if needed
  • 1/3 cup plain M&Ms substitute for appropriate food sensitivities/allergies

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or use silicone liners.
  • Mix mashed bananas, peanut butter, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in oats, coconut, flour, and chocolate chips. Combine well.
  • Place mounds of dough onto the cookie sheet, about 2 Tbsp for each cookie. Press a few M&Ms into the top of each cookie. Bake for 14 minutes.
  • After removing the cookies from the oven let them sit to cool on the pan. This allows them to firm up a bit.
