5 simple ingredients you need:

1. Ripe bananas – the riper the better., They already provide
2. Rolled oats

4. Peanut Butter: Smooth unsweetened and unsalted peanut butter works the best in this recipe.

Make Banana Oatmeal Cookies without added Sugar

If you want to go completely without added sugar for these peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies, here are a couple of ways to do it:

First, you can simply omit the coconut sugar here. I have tried this cookie recipe without the coconut sugar a couple of times. They are still so delicious and plenty sweet from the ripe bananas.

And the riper the banana, the sweeter the cookie.

Second, use 100% Dark chocolate chip or you can omit the chocolate chips altogether. I personally love the 70% dark chocolate (with a little bit of added coconut sugar)

Peanut Butter

When it comes to choosing what peanut butter to purchase, my number one tip is:

The FEWER ingredients the BETTER.

My favorite Peanut Butter has only one ingredient – Organic Peanuts.

There are no hydrogenated oils, added sugars, or any other ingredients that I can’t pronounce.

Can I use Other Nut Butter for this cookie recipe?

Absolutely!

Instead of peanut butter, you can use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower butter. Similar to choosing peanut butter, you would want to buy the nut butter that has a very minimal ingredient list.

Store Peanut butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Once the oatmeal cookies cooled completely, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Certainly, you can double the batch and freeze them for a couple of months.
