In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 mashed ripe bananas, ¼ cup honey, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir until smooth.
Add 2¼ cups quick oats and ½ cup dried cranberries or raisins. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the scoop or your hand.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Substitution Ideas
Peanut Butter - Try using natural peanut butter or crunch peanut butter instead of the creamy in the recipe. You can even use nut butters instead of peanut butter.
Dried Fruits - Cranberries and raisins both work great so just use what you have. Any type of dried fruits work great in this recipe too.
Chopped Nuts - Chopped pecans and walnuts are a great addition and add extra crunch to the cookie.
Chocolate Chips - If you are feeling decadent, add chocolate chips. Dark chocolate and white chocolate are delicious and some of our favorites.
Other Additions - Flax seeds or chia seeds are a great healthy addition for additional fiber.
Recipe Tips
Scooping Cookies - I highly recommend using a cookie scoop. You will thank me later because it saves so much time on spooning out each of the cookies.
Storing - Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing - Place the room temperature cookies in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to serve.
