Variations

These eggless oatmeal cookies taste amazing just as they are! But if you want to mix things up, try customizing them to match your favorite flavors or dietary needs. Here are some ideas:

  • Gluten-free - Replace the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour mixture.
  • Add-ins - chocolate chips, toasted nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, etc...
  • Vegan -replace the butter with a vegan butter substitute (MiYoko's is my preferred brand)

FAQ

Why use mashed bananas in place of eggs in this eggless oatmeal cookie recipe?

Mashed bananas help hold the ingredients together, similar to how eggs work. Additionally, bananas add moisture to the dough, making the cookies softer and chewier.
