- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 3/4 cup natural peanut butter I used creamy
- 3 Tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend or any gluten-free flour
- 2 cups gluten-free old-fashioned oats.
- 1 tsp baking powder corn-free if needed
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum or guar gum
- 1/4 cup allergy-friendly mini chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
In a large mixing bowl add mashed bananas, peanut butter, vanilla, pure maple syrup, and water.
Mix well. Add dry ingredients all at once and stir to mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
Place small scoop size or heaping tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes. Try baking some for 10-11 minutes for a slightly fudgy cookie.
Cool on a wire rack.
Eat them up or freeze for later.
Add a chocolate chip on top of the cookie before baking for a different look.
