Ingredients

Scale

- 3 ripe bananas, mashed

- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

- 2 cups oats (rolled or quick)

- 1/4 cup almond milk (or another milk)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

- 1/4 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

- 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chunks (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare
  Preheat your oven to about 175 °C (350 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

1. Mix Wet Ingredients
  In a bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, then mix in the applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla.

1. Combine Dry Ingredients
  Add the oats and cinnamon to the wet mixture and stir until combined.

1. Add Optional Mix-ins
  Fold in raisins, nuts, or chocolate chunks, if using.

1. Form & Bake
  Use a spoon to drop cookie-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly (they won’t spread much).
  Bake for 12–15 minutes, until set

1. Cool
  Let the cookies cool fully on a wire rack — they firm up as they cool.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas — they add the most natural sweetness.
If the dough feels too wet, add a bit more oats.
If too dry, add a splash more milk or applesauce.

Because there’s no refined sugar, the cookies won’t spread or brown much like traditional cookies.
