Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
If using, add honey or maple syrup to the banana mash and stir until combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the banana mash and fold gently until combined.
Scoop the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
