Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup almond butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, almond butter, and honey until smooth.
Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats and cinnamon until well combined.
Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten slightly with a fork, as they will not spread much while baking.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. You can substitute the almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
