My family loves cookies . Don’t we all love cookies? Maybe you’re not a cookie monster but perhaps you want to bake some super quick and nourishing cookies for a loved one? I’ve got your recipe!
These Banana Bread Cookies could not be any easier. Simple, whole ingredients – easy enough that a second grader could make them (my daughter is in grade 2 and she makes these with my help) and yes, they taste like banana bread but in the cookie form!
These cookies are….
- Perfect grab and go snack
- Nut-free making them school safe
- Gluten-free if using GF oats
- Vegan, no eggs
- A total crowd pleaser!
You can really jazz up this recipe too. It’s a great base for adding pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried cranberries – you can get creative with it and have some fun. They are soft and chewy, and the chocolate chips melt in your mouth.
Here is the recipe:

Banana Bread Cookies
PrintIngredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 3 large bananas, mashed (for softer cookies, add more banana)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips* or both!
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place oats in a food processor or blender and blitz until you have a flour-like texture.
- In a large bowl, add oats, mashed banana and melted coconut oil and mix together. Fold in raisins or chocolate chips, or both! If the batter is too thick, then add water 1 tbsp at a time.
- Spoon batter by heaping tablespoon into hands and form into a ball and then flatten with your hands on the cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.
*If using chocolate chips, look for a sugar-free brand such as Lily’s Sweets chocolate chips.

Made these cookies this morning, for the first time. I didn’t have raisins,so I used dried blueberries. Still very tasty!
Thanks Joy
I love recipes with 4-5 simple ingredients
Do I use less than 3 cups of oat flour if I’m not using whole oats in food processor
Yes I would use a little less. However, I haven’t tested it with oat flour which is a much finer texture so I can’t say for sure. Maybe go with 2.5 cups oat flour and see how you like the texture?
Dried blueberries, great idea!! Glad you enjoyed this recipe Rose!
Just made these. Is it bad that I ate four of them? Yummmmm
Glad you enjoyed them!
