Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 485 g before cooking, which is about 40 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, peel the two ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly with a fork until they reach a smooth, liquid-like consistency with few lumps.
Add 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter to the mashed bananas and stir until the two ingredients are completely combined and smooth.
Pour in 1.5 cups of quick oats and fold them into the wet mixture until all the oats are evenly moistened and a thick dough forms.
Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the top of each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies feel firm to the touch and are slightly golden on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of chocolate chips, though this will increase the ingredient count. Ensure you use quick oats rather than old-fashioned rolled oats for the best soft texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
