Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel and mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  2. Add 1 ½ cups of gluten-free rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
  3. Fold in your choice of extras like ½ cup of chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits.
  4. Drop generous amounts of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. The edges should be firm while the centers remain soft.
  6. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
