3-Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies (No Banana)
These 3-ingredient oatmeal cookies are made with rolled oats, nut or seed butter, and maple syrup. They're naturally sweetened, easy to customize with chocolate chips or dried fruit, and made without banana, eggs or flour.
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup nut or seed butter of choice 120 g
- 1/3 cup maple syrup 105 g
- 1.5 cups rolled oats 150 g
Optional Extras
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips raisins, cranberries, chopped nuts or seeds, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add the nut or seed butter and maple syrup to a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and fully combined. If using vanilla extract, mix it in now.
- Add the rolled oats and stir until evenly combined. Fold in any optional add-ins, such as chocolate chips, raisins, cranberries, chopped nuts or seeds. The mixture should be thick and sticky. If it seems too dry to hold together, add a little more nut butter or maple syrup. If it’s too wet, add a few more oats.
- Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and arrange them on the prepared baking tray. Use slightly damp hands to prevent sticking, then flatten each portion into a cookie shape. The cookies won't spread much during baking, so shape them as you want them to look when finished.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until set and lightly golden. Leave the cookies on the tray to cool completely before handling, as they will firm up as they cool.
Notes
Be sure to use creamy, drippy nut or seed butter that's nearly pourable in consistency. You can use almond butter, peanut butter or cashew butter or for nut-free cookies, tahini or sunflower seed butter.
