Ingredients
- Old fashioned oats: I love baking with oats, they give the cookies a chewy texture and are a much healthier option. Full of fiber, oats keep you full and regulate blood sugar levels.
- Strawberries: I used fresh strawberries, frozen will not work on this recipe as they will have too much water and will make the cookies soggy.
- Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your strawberry cookies will be!
- Peanut butter: Make sure to use all-natural peanut butter without any sugar added. You can replace it with almond butter as well.
- White chocolate chips: Pair well with the strawberry flavor. This is optional, but highly recommended!
Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 356F/180C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas.
- In a medium bowl, mix with the other ingredients until combined.
- Form 16 small balls of cookie dough, place them on the lined baking tray and press into a cookie shape. If desired, top with extra chocolate chips or strawberries.
- Bake for 15 minutes until golden on the edges.
- Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Cooking TIps
- When the cookies come out of the oven, they will still be soft, let them cool to harden a bit.
- Do not overbake the cookies. Start checking the cookies around the 12-minute mark. When cookies get golden on the edges, they are done.
- Skip the white chocolate chips if serving these cookies to children less than 2 years old. This way the cookies will be completely sugar free!
- If you are worried using old fashioned oats for younger babies, you can use quick oats instead!
