Soft cookies with oats and banana, with the addition of dark chocolate and almonds, are simple and quick treats for healthy and light cookies because they are egg-free, butter-free, and sugar-free, making them suitable for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet.
You only need three ingredients, and in just a few minutes, the dough is ready to bake these delicious cookies perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a sweet break.
For their preparation, I recommend using ripe bananas, which are sweeter and easier to mash; this is also a way to use up those overripe fruits that no one eats anymore.
