Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a Banana Oats Chocolate Dessert:
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon to form cookie shapes.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly firm to the touch.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy your Banana Oats Chocolate Dessert cookies with a glass of milk or as a quick and healthy snack.
Tips
- For an extra touch, drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the cookies after they have cooled.
- You can also add nuts, such as chopped walnuts or almonds, for added texture and flavor.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy treat!
