Banana Oatmeal Cookies: What You Need and What You Can Use Instead
Let’s talk about the ingredients in these banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and what you may use instead.
- Bananas that are too ripe. Make sure your bananas are sweet and ripe. If you’re using bananas that have already been frozen, defrost them in the microwave or at room temperature before you make this dish.
- Syrup or honey. These banana oatmeal cookies taste well with either liquid sweetener. You can also use brown rice syrup or agave.
- Egg. You can make these vegan or egg-free by using a flax egg or an egg replacer.
- Oats that cook quickly. You can use rolled or old-fashioned oats, but the texture will be different.
- Cinnamon. Don’t forget it! The cinnamon makes these the best banana oatmeal cookies in the world.
- Salt from the sea. If you use iodized salt, cut the amount in half.
- Chips of chocolate. You can use either regular-sized or tiny chips in this recipe. We’ll talk later about some additional things you can mix in besides chocolate chips.
- 3 bananas that are too ripe (approximately 1 ¼ cups mashed banana)
- Two tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
- 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup of oats that cook quickly
- ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt and 1 teaspoon of crushed cinnamon
- ½ cup of chocolate chips or other things like shredded coconut, dried cranberries, raisins, etc.
Put in Mix-ins
If you want to, you can gently stir in the mix-ins once the batter is smooth and even. I like to make these cookies with banana, oats, and chocolate chips, and I like to use semi-sweet chocolate chips (normal or tiny). But here are some other ideas for things to add:
- Yum! Cinnamon Chips!
- Chips of white chocolate
- Coconut
- Dried fruits include cherries, cranberries, blueberries, and raisins.
- Chips of peanut butter
- Chopped nuts
