3 Ingredient Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
These oatmeal cookies are soft and chewy and just 3 ingredients. They are a healthy snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (116 g) mashed very ripe bananas, approximately 1 1/2 bananas
- 3 tbsp (48 g) unsweetened natural almond butter
- 1 cup (88 g) quick oats, or rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl add mashed bananas and almond butter. Whisk until they are thoroughly combined. Add in oats. Stir until the oats are evenly mixed and fully coated. Your cookie dough should look more like a thick wet batter rather than traditional cookie dough.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop out cookie dough. Release cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough balls about 1.5 inches apart. Use the palm of your hand or the back of a metal spoon to press down on each cookie dough ball so that it forms a thick round disk. Smooth the sides of the cookie disks if desired. The cookies will not spread during baking so you want to shape the cookies to how you want the final product to be.
- Bake cookies for about 10 minutes or until set. When cookies are done, they should not stick to the pan. Let cookies cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet with a cookie spatula.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly mash your bananas. You should not have any large chunks. I recommend using a whisk to mash instead of a fork.
- Uneaten cookies should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
- See post for potential ingredient substitutions.
- If you make these cookies with rolled oats, you will only have enough for 9 cookies instead of 10.
- The cookies are sweet but not super sweet. If you want them sweeter, you can add chocolate chips, dried fruit or other mix-ins.
- I use an OXO 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop.*
