Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking the cookie evenly.
- Mash the Banana: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until smooth to help bind the cookie and add natural sweetness.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir in peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract with the mashed banana until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and chocolate chips until fully incorporated, forming a cookie dough batter.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Line the air fryer basket with a piece of baking paper to prevent the cookie from sticking and aid in easy removal.
- Shape the Cookie: Form the mixture into a thick, circular cookie shape, slightly flattening it for even cooking, then place it on the lined basket.
- Air Fry the Cookie: Cook the cookie in the air fryer for 7 to 8 minutes until it turns lightly golden on top and cooked through.
- Cool Before Serving: Let the cookie cool for about one minute after cooking so it firms up slightly, then enjoy your wholesome breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better binding.
- Flatten the cookie slightly to ensure even cooking and avoid undercooked centers.
- Add nuts or seeds like walnuts, chia, or flax seeds to boost texture and nutrition if desired.
