Notes

Use Ripe Bananas – The riper the bananas, the sweeter the cookies will be, reducing the need for added sweeteners.
Don’t Overmix – Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them and making the batter too wet.
Customize Sweetness – If your bananas aren’t very ripe, add a little honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
For Extra Chewiness – Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes before baking to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
Make Them Crunchier – Bake for a few extra minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Keep Them Moist – Store in an airtight container to maintain softness, especially if kept at room temperature.
Use Gluten-Free Oats – If you need these cookies to be gluten-free, ensure your oats are certified gluten-free.
Boost Nutrition – Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a scoop of protein powder for extra nutrients.
Nut-Free Option – Replace nut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Best Storage Tip – Freeze individually on a tray before storing in a bag to prevent cookies from sticking together.
