2 ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
3. Stir in the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Add the oats, cinnamon, salt, and chia seeds, then mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
6. Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each cookie slightly.

Notes
These cookies do not spread much, so shaping them before baking helps them cook evenly.
Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and softer texture.
They store well in the fridge and freezer, which makes them perfect for breakfast meal prep.
