How to Make Healthy Gooey Oatmeal Cookies

  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until completely smooth. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the whole wheat flour, oats, salt, and chocolate chips. Mix until just combined – don't overmix!
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  5. Slightly flatten each cookie ball with a fork.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still soft and gooey.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
  8. Optional: Add nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
