Quick and Easy Oatmeal-Banana Cookies for Breakfast

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

2 ripened bananas 1 ¾ cups instant oats ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips ¼ cup walnuts (Optional)

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the cookies from sticking. In a medium bowl, mash up the bananas until they're nice and smooth. Then, mix in the oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts until everything is well combined. Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out a bit. Pop the tray into the oven and let the cookies bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they’re set and lightly golden. Once done, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying!
