Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth.
Stir in rolled oats until the mixture reaches a cookie-like consistency. Use about 1 to 1.5 cups of oats.
Add a dash of cinnamon to the mixture for warm flavor. Adjust to your taste preference.
Incorporate a handful of raisins or chocolate chips for sweetness and texture.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Using your hands, form small portions of the mixture into cookie shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Banana Oat Cookies as a wholesome and delicious treat. They're a great way to use up ripe bananas and provide a dose of fiber and natural sweetness!
