Method
Mash the ripe banana1 with a fork into a thick purée.
Add the rolled2 oats, honey, cinnamon, salt, and raisins5, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes to swell.
Shape into 5–6 small cookies and place on parchment in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 170 °C for 10–12 minutes, until the edges dry out and the tops are lightly browned.
Let cool for 5 minutes so the cookies firm up.
Tips
- Why it works
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. The oats will absorb the banana's moisture, and the cookies won't spread in the air fryer.
- Substitutions
- Swap the honey for 10 g of sugar if you're cooking for a child under one year. You can replace the raisins with 20 g of finely chopped dates.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is baking too long. The cookies look dry, the edges darken and the smell turns caramel-like by the 12th minute.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days in a closed container. Reheat for 1–2 minutes in the air fryer at 150 °C or eat cold.
- Serve with
- Serve as a snack with tea or milk, or pack 2–3 in a lunchbox.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
