Ingredients

2 ripe bananas ($0.40)

⅓ cup creamy peanut butter, slightly melted ($0.49)

⅓ cup maple syrup ($1.50)

1 ½ tsp vanilla extract ($0.50)

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats ($0.80)

1 tsp cinnamon ($0.10)

½ tsp salt ($0.03)

½ cup dried cranberries ($0.80)

⅓ cup chopped pecans ($0.70)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mash the bananas well with a fork.

2 Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir together with the mashed bananas until combined.

3 Next add the rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Stir together until combined.

4 Now stir in the dried cranberries and chopped pecans into the batter until combined.

5 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop the cookie batter into roughly 2 Tbsp portions. Place the cookies on the baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to flatten the cookies a little bit since they won't spread much in the oven.

6 Bake the cookies for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy!
