Ingredients

▢ 2 ripe bananas
▢ 180 g quick oats
▢ 120 g sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the 2 ripe bananas in a mixing bowl and mash them well with a fork until smooth.
Stir 180 g quick oats into the mashed bananas until evenly combined. Fold in 120 g sugar-free chocolate chips.
Scoop seven portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each portion because the cookies will not spread much while baking.
Bake the 3 ingredient oatmeal cookies for 12–15 minutes, until set and lightly golden around the edges.
Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up. Transfer them to a wire rack.

Notes

Choose ripe bananas: Bananas with plenty of brown spots provide more sweetness and mash smoothly into the oats.

Use quick oats: Their smaller texture absorbs the mashed banana efficiently and helps the cookies hold together.

Shape before baking: The portions retain most of their original shape, so flatten them to the desired finished thickness.

Allow them to firm: The cookies remain soft when first removed and become easier to handle after several minutes on the tray.
