Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, mashed banana, applesauce, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed.
Fold in any optional ingredients like raisins, chia seeds, or nuts if you’re using them.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, gently pressing them down to form cookie shapes.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For longer storage, freeze the cookies for up to a month.

These cookies are naturally gluten-free if certified gluten-free oats are used.

The recipe is vegan-friendly as it uses plant-based ingredients.

If you want less sweetness, reduce the maple syrup or use a sugar substitute like stevia.
