Ingredients
 

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup dried cherries, cranberries or raisins
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripened bananas, mashed
  • ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
  • Optional: 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, salt, chocolate chips and dried fruit.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine the bananas, peanut butter and brown sugar, until smooth (it’s OK if you have some banana lumps throughout).
  • Add the banana-peanut butter mixture to the oats and stir until everything is mixed together.
  • Bake on middle rack for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on counter for at least 15 minutes. They will firm as they cool.
