Back by popular demand: The EASIEST cookies you’ll ever make.
Plus they are SO good… 1 step, 5 ingredients. Got an oven? A fork and a mixing bowl? Get. On. This.
Also, they ARE healthy, and even “healthier” with a higher nutrition value if you keep the chocolate chips out of the equation and use nuts instead! Nuts = healthy fats+ protein. Plus no flour and no sugar, so I highly recommend the substitution.
I personally like to call these fiber cookies…because OATMEAL, which is an amazing grain! Plus bananas….overripe bananas make for the best cookies! You know, when they get brown and looking like they are past their prime? Yep, that’s the best time. That IS Their prime!
This is what you do.
OATMEAL BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
WHAT
- 2- 3 overripe bananas
- 2 cups of oatmeal
- 1/3 cup of any oil (I used grapeseed oil for this one)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, walnuts, or if you need a fix – mini chocolate chips (dark, milk, white or a mix!)
HOW
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash bananas to a smooth consistency with a fork.
- Add all other ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Divide and conquer cookies – It should give you about 12 servings.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes for soft consistency. You may leave them in a little longer if you like them crunchier.
- Check out the how to video below!
Enjoy the deliciousness!

Does it matter what kind of oats that you use? Like quick oats or just regular?
Either or!
How long do they stay good for? And do we store them on the counter or in the fridge?
counter shelf life is shorter for sure. I would store in fridge long term!
How long do they stay good for? And do we store them in the fridge or at room temp? Excited to try them!!
outside of fridge for about 2 days, in fridge for more than that. I ate them all really quickly LOL
The banana oat cookies are delicious. I substituted the chocolate chips for blueberry and added some cinnamon too.

Nuts would be amazing! Pecans, perfect!
Hi Ana! I love your wonderful recipes. I never knew eating clean could taste SO good! I was wondering though, do you know the caloric/macro ratios for these cookies?
Hi Ariana! So glad you thought so! And while I don’t count calories, these are high carb cookies due to the oats, but also high fiber! These are great for ya!
I make these ALL THE TIME! I absolutely love them! I add a tsp of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for a little added zing. Love your recipes!
Oh that’s a great idea!! That’s wonderful! Love to hear it!
Hi Ana, made this cookies and they were Amazing!? thanks for sharing your recepies and your pregnancy journey… Love it❤️
You’re so welcome! Puts a smile on my face that you enjoy it!
Any substitution for oil?
I would sub applesauce or a nut butter….your best bet!
Thanks for the response. If I sub applesauce, is it a 1:1 ratio?
Yep
Just made these cookies and they are bomb.com I will be making these bad boys again!

Hubby showed me this cookie. Guess I’m going to the grocery store SMILE!
I follow you on IG and let me tell you, I went crazy trying to look for this recipe since I follow others that post healthy recipes. I have been dying to make these since the first time I saw it on my feed but couldn’t remember who had posted it and now I’m so glad I found your recipe! I’m going to make them tomorrow. Thank you for the recipe!
haha! I came here to find a sweet potato recipe when I see this cookie recipe on full display and I had all the ingredients so I just made them and then forgot to look for the sweet potato recipe LOL!
Hahahaha YAY!!! That’s how life goes! I love it ?
Could they be stored in the freezer? How long would they be good for?
Yes! For sure. I never had to keep them long because we are them all but a few days in fridge and months in freezer!
Made them today, and loved them! I posted the picture on instagram with the recipe in portuguese and tagged you 🙂
By the way, you look great pregnant!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!
These cookies were to die for!!! I had to hold myself from eating them all and my husband devoured them. Amazing and so easy and quick. I used dark chocolate for mine. Deliciousssssssssssss
Haha, that’s awesome! You can eat them, they’re guilt free!!
I went on my beaking mode last night. I had all the ingredients at home, plus I wanted to try my new Ninja Blender, so hey, good excuse to try to make the cookies. First time I ever baked something from scratch! And I only have to say that I loved them babies!!!!! Easy recipe to just have something sweet and healthy. Thank you, my dear, for sharing this awesome recipe! Besos, Jessica!
YAY! So easy and guilt-free! Glad you enjoyed! ?
Great recipe! Ive made them twice in the past 3 weeks. Altered the second time to add walnuts and cinnamon and coconut oil…DELISH! This has me shopping for beyond ripe bananas…lol. Thank you!
So welcome!! I’m SO happy you love them! They are my faves as well! Xoxo
I want to add flax seed and brewers yeast! What do you think would be a good amount for this recipe?
Not more than 1tbsp of brewers yeast and 1/4 cup of flaxseed. I made them, I’m gonna post them! So funny you asked!!! Haha
I’m about to make these!! Thanks for your recipes!!
Hola! Any idea if they can be done using NO oil? Maybe subbing with applesauce or something else?
Sure, they will just be a bit more dry than usual, but still good!
I make these cookies as often as possible! We all have a sweet tooth in my house, and these are healthy, easy, and so delicious. My kids love when I make them, we always make sure to have all the ingredients on hand, and leave at least 2 bananas to ripen whenever we buy a bunch, just for the cookies. I use coconut oil and add 1/8 tsp of salt to cut the sweetness a little. They turn out perfect every time! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe, you have some very good ones!
That is so awesome! I’m so happy to hear you love the cookies and the recipe just works! That’s fantastic!!!
Hi..i had a few ripened bananas & tried out this recipe..substituted the choc chips for chopped dates..IT WAS AMAZING
My kids even enjoyed them.
Definately a WINNER!!!
That’s the beauty, you can add whichever “toppings” you like. The base of the cookies is absolute gold! Good for you!!
These are my favorite cookies because they’re healthy and super easy! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I saw you on KSDK Show Me St. Louis today and I now follow you on YouTube. I’m going to the grocery to get the ingredients to make these cookies instead of buying store bought cookies with all types of harmful ingredients. I’m trying to eat healthier so I will be trying your recipes.
Hi Gary! That’s wonderful. It is just too easy and I debated making these on the segment. Maybe next time!! I’m so glad you found me here, enjoy and let me know how you like them!
