Storing and Freezing Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Room Temperature

You can store these peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or at room temperature. I find that they’re best the first couple of days.

Freezer

After cooling your oatmeal cookies, store them in a freezer-friendly container in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Tools for the Best Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies

My go-to cookie scoop, this guy is sturdy, lasts through 1,000s and 1,000s of scoops (I’ve broken tons of other brand cookie scoops through simple scooping). The BEST cookie scoop.

I’ve been on the hunt for high-quality cookie sheets forever. I’ve used dollar store cookie sheets that warped, $20 big brand cookie sheets that also warped and everything else in between. This cookie sheet is not only beautiful, but functional, durable and does not warp one bit. It ensures even heating & baking throughout the sheet. Bonus: I found pre-cut parchment sheets that actually fit this cookie sheet!

Pastry Cutter

The best tool I’ve ever used for mashing bananas. Gets them nice and smushed without the mess and hassle of using a fork or whisk.

So, did ya love learning all about these peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies? Are you more than ready to bake a fresh batch? Let’s do it! I truly can’t wait to hear what you think! ‘Til the next joyful baking adventure…

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter  ❤️

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.

  3. Add the dry ingredients: oats, baking soda and baking powder. Using a rubber spatula, fold until well mixed. Fold in chocolate chips and peanuts.
  4. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Optionally, press toppings into the tops of each cookie. Using a fork, flatten each cookie to desired thickness. They won’t spread much during baking.

  1. These cookies are so good! I froze them so I wouldn’t eat them all at once, but I find myself eating them out of the freezer (they’re still delicious frozen!) I didn’t have flaxseed so I just omitted it. Definitely will make these again!






  2. These cookies are so yummy and addicting! My hubby and daughter absolutely loved these cookies! Definitely being remade very soon!






  3. We make cookies every week. It’s the best snack for my kids. We will make these peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies next week!






  4. Perfect – there are overripe bananas staring at me right now and banana bread is not what I want. These cookies are the perfect answer!






  5. These cookies are delicious. My kids love them for breakfast as they are headed out the door to school. I am going to make a batch for the freezer today.
