Ingredients

4 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups rolled oats, or more to taste
1/2 cup oat cereal, crushed, or more to taste
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons shredded coconut

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2 Mix bananas, oats, oat cereal, chocolate chips, cranberries, and coconut in a bowl, adding more oats or cereal as needed to make a soft dough. Roll into 12 equal balls. Arrange balls on the prepared cookie sheet and gently flatten.
