Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

1/4 cup flaxseed meal or shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of the cookies.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. If using, you can add the flaxseed meal or shredded coconut here.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring well to ensure everything is well incorporated. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.

          Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers for even baking.

            Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

              Cool Down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these delicious Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
