Notes
- The riper your bananas the sweeter your cookie will be.
- You can use rolled oats, quick oats or oat flour. Quick oats produce the best results. Depending on the banana size, you may find you need more or less oats. Your mixture should be able to be scooped and easily form into cookies.
- Add a range of additional mix ins to change the flavour profile (e.g spices, lime/ orange zest, choc chips (a favourite), dried fruit etc. See post for a detailed list of suggestions and flavour combinations.)
