Instructions

Step 1

Mash the Bananas

Begin by using a fork to mash the two bananas in a mixing bowl. Make sure they are well mashed and without lumps.

Step 2

Mix in the Oats

To the mashed bananas, add 100 grams of rolled oats (approximately 3.5 ounces). Carefully mix until the oats are evenly incorporated with the bananas.

Step 3

Incorporate Spices and Other Ingredients

Next, add 1 tablespoon of psyllium, the spices (cinnamon and ginger), the nut butter, honey if desired, and olive oil into the mixture. Stir it all together until you achieve a consistent batter.

Step 4

Add the Dried Cranberries

Gently fold in 70 grams of dried cranberries (about 2.5 ounces) using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, just ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Shape the Cookies

Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form cookie shapes. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have space in between.

Step 6

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they are nicely golden. Enjoy your tea time with these delicious cookies!

Variations

For those following a gluten-free or vegan diet, you can still enjoy these yummy oatmeal cookies! 🌱✨
**For a gluten-free version**, simply replace regular oats with certified gluten-free oats. They work just as well and keep the same lovely texture.

**Going vegan?** Substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup, and use a nut butter like almond or sunflower seed instead of the traditional nut pastes. With these easy swaps, you won’t miss the eggs or dairy! Enjoy your healthy treats while sticking to your dietary preferences! 🍯🥜

Faq

  • Can I use any type of nut butter?

    Absolutely! Feel free to choose from peanut butter, almond butter, or even sunflower seed butter for more variety based on your taste and dietary needs.

  • How do I know when the cookies are baked properly?

    Your cookies should be golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool down!

  • Can I make this recipe without banana?

    Yes! You can replace banana with applesauce or even a flaxseed mixture for binding, though the flavor may slightly change.

  • What can I do if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough feels too sticky, try chilling it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This makes it easier to handle and shape the cookies.

  • How long can I store these cookies?

    These cookies stay fresh for about a week in an airtight container at room temperature. They also freeze well for longer storage!

  • Can I add other mix-ins to the cookies?

    Definitely! Feel free to include chocolate chips, nuts, or even shredded coconut to customize your oatmeal cookie experience.
