Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh strawberries are ideal for the best texture and flavor. If you need to use frozen, chop them small, and pat dry very well with a paper towel to avoid making the dough too wet.

Can I skip the peanut butter?

Yes, you can replace it with another nut or seed butter like almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini. Keep in mind it will slightly change the flavor profile.

Do these taste like traditional cookies?

Not exactly these are soft, tender, and less sweet than a classic cookie. They're more like a cross between a banana bread bite and a breakfast cookie.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely. Just use certified gluten-free oats and ensure all other ingredients are labeled gluten-free.

Are these safe for toddlers?

Definitely! Just make sure to finely chop the strawberries and omit the peanut butter drizzle if needed. They're a great handheld snack for little ones.

How long do they last in the freezer?

Up to 2 months. Be sure to freeze in layers with parchment paper between and store in a zip-top freezer bag or airtight container.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.

Fold in the chopped strawberries, maple syrup (or honey), coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared tray using a spoon or cookie scoop. Slightly flatten each cookie.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas and finely chopped strawberries.
These cookies are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
For a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking.
