Ingredients & Substitutions

Rolled oats are the base of these cookies, providing fiber and texture. Almond butter adds healthy fats and protein, but you can substitute it with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter. For sweetness, adjust the maple syrup based on your taste preference. Dried fruits can be swapped with chocolate chips or fresh fruits.

Tips & Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
  • Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best natural sweetness.

Recipe Variations

  • Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey version.
  • Substitute the walnuts with pecans or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.

Storage & Freezing

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
