These Healthy Banana Oatmeal Cookies are the perfect treat when you want something sweet but still keep it healthy and sugar-free. Made with ripe bananas for natural sweetness, oats for a hearty texture, and walnuts for a bit of nutty goodness, they’re as simple as they are delicious. And for a little extra treat, I’ve added chocolate chips, because everything is better with a touch of chocolate.
Made with no refined sugar and just a handful of simple ingredients, these cookies are quick and easy to whip up. They’re great for breakfast on the go, a mid-day snack, or a healthier dessert. Plus, they’re naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
Soft, chewy, and packed with flavor, these cookies are proof that a healthier treat can still feel indulgent. Bake a batch and enjoy the best of both worlds!
How to make healthy banana oatmeal cookies
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, in a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until they are smooth. Stir in the coconut oil (or peanut butter) and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
Add the ground walnuts, salt, and oats to the bowl, and mix until fully incorporated. If using, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness.
Using an ice cream scoop, take equal portions of dough and place on the prepared baking sheets, 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Slightly flatten the tops to your desired thickness, as the cookies won’t spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet until the cookies are firm enough to remove. While cookies are still warm add some extra chocolate chips and walnuts on top.Â
Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving. I hope you will try these easy healthy banana oatmeal cookies and enjoy! Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram if you do as I love seeing your take on them.Â
