  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla · ½ tsp cinnamon · pinch salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (or raisins / chopped nuts)
What you need
  1. Heat & line. Oven to 350°F; line a sheet with parchment.
  2. Mix & rest. Mash the bananas; stir in everything else and let it sit 5–10 min so the oats drink up the moisture and the dough firms enough to scoop.
  3. Scoop & flatten. Drop tablespoons onto the sheet and press flat — these don't spread, so shape them now.
  4. Bake. 12–15 min until set and lightly golden at the edges. They firm as they cool; lift off once cool enough to hold.

✨ Untested — Claude drafted this one from scratch; it hasn't been cooked and amended in our kitchen yet, so treat the amounts as a starting point. Low salt — salt at the end and taste as you go; broth, cheese, and canned goods already bring salt.
