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

In a large bowl, add peeled bananas. Using a fork or pastry cutter, mash until smooth. Add the remaining wet ingredients: peanut butter, coconut sugar, coconut oil, flax eggs and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.

Add the dry ingredients: gluten free oats, baking soda and baking powder. Using a rubber spatula, fold until well mixed. Fold in your favorite add-ins.

Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Optionally, press chocolate chips and walnuts into the tops of each cookie. Using a fork, flatten each cookie to desired thickness. They won’t spread much during baking.

Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, or until mostly firm. Using a heatproof spatula, carefully lift cookies onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
