Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.

      Add sugar and flavor: Incorporate the brown sugar and vanilla extract into the banana-peanut butter mixture. Mix until combined.

        Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

          Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Add extras: If desired, fold in chocolate chips and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

              Scoop the dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each cookie as they will spread slightly.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

                  Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Once cooled, dive into these delicious Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Delights with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
