Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling three ripe bananas and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Mash the bananas until smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add 1½ cups of gluten-free rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas. Fold until a sticky dough forms, about 2 minutes.
  3. If using, mix in ½ cup of optional add-ins such as nuts or chocolate chips. Gently fold until evenly distributed, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop portions of dough onto the baking sheet, space them 2 inches apart, and flatten each cookie. This will take about 5 minutes.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes until golden-brown around the edges.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
