These Cookies Are Having a Moment



Hi there, Reader

These healthy cookies have quietly become my most popular recipe for the last few weeks and have officially entered reader-favourite territory.

Meet my Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies: Soft, chewy, naturally sweetened, ridiculously quick and easy, made with wholesome everyday ingredients, and they can be baked in your oven or air fryer.

No fancy ingredients. No complicated steps. No "wait, I need what?" moments. Just peanut butter + banana + oats + chocolate chips.

Perfect for:
- On-the-go breakfasts
- Afternoon snack emergencies
- Lunchboxes (use sunflower seed butter if you need to avoid peanut butter😉)
- Late-night “I need something sweet” moments
- And I even make them for my dogs (without the chocolate and the salt)🤭

I love it when a recipe quietly becomes that one. The one people keep making, sharing, and coming back to again and again. And these cookies? They've absolutely become that recipe.

If you haven’t tried them yet, this is your sign! And don't just take my word for it. I've included some reader reviews below the pic!

Here's what some of you have had to say about the recipe:

"These cookies are on repeat - OMG! My husband does not like peanut butter, but devoured these with a big smile on his face!" - Paul ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Delicious! Simple, easy, and so yummy. Half of the “batter” didn’t make it into the oven lol." - Marian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I've made these several times, and they are super easy and very good. As a no salt/sugar/oil vegan, it's difficult to find baked goods recipes that taste halfway decent, and this is one of the few that works. Thank you for helping with my sweet tooth!" - Eileen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Fab recipe that the whole family enjoyed. Appreciate they are pretty healthy with minimal ingredients, too" - Karen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
