Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 banana, ripe
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mash the Banana: In a small bowl, mash the banana thoroughly with a fork until smooth, ensuring no chunks remain. Using a ripe banana helps achieve a creamy consistency.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the peanut butter, quick oats, and chocolate chips to the mashed banana. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Form Cookie Balls: Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized balls and place them on a microwave-safe plate, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Microwave: Cook the cookie balls on high power in the microwave for 1 minute and 10 seconds.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie balls to cool completely before enjoying your tasty snack.
Notes
- Ensure the banana is very ripe for sweetness and easier mashing.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower butter if preferred.
- Use quick oats for best texture; old-fashioned oats may make the balls chewier.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- If you don’t have a microwave, you can bake them at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes until set.
