Listen—sometimes you just want a damn cookie. And you deserve that cookie. But we’re not doing the sugar crash, bloated, regret-it-later cookie. No ma’am. We’re making banana oatmeal cookies that taste like a treat but act like a wellness win. These babies are naturally sweet, nutrient-dense, and honestly? They’re perfect for when you need a hug in snack form.
Why This Recipe is Great - These cookies are your PMS’s best friend, your 3PM slump savior, and your hormone-balancing snack hero. They’re made with whole ingredients that stabilize blood sugar, keep cravings at bay, and even sneak in some gut-friendly fiber. Plus, they take like 15 minutes to throw together. We love an efficient queen.

Star Ingredients and Their Benefits
Bananas: Rich in potassium and B6—great for hormone production, mood regulation, and reducing bloating.
Oats: Full of soluble fiber to support digestion and keep you full. Plus, they help stabilize blood sugar and cortisol levels.
Cinnamon: Naturally helps regulate blood sugar (aka less hanger) and brings that warm, cozy flavor.
Optional Add-ins (like dark chocolate or walnuts): Add antioxidants, magnesium, and healthy fats for mood and skin support.
The Recipe - You’ll need:
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a dash of vanilla
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Mash bananas in a bowl, stir in oats, cinnamon, salt, and your extras.
Scoop into small cookie-shaped blobs (technical term) and place on baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden around the edges and firm-ish to the touch.
Let them cool before devouring like the empowered snack queen you are.
