- Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in apple sauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Mix in the oats, cinnamon, and any optional raisins or nuts. Fold in the chocolate chunks last.
- Scoop the dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon for even baking.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are set and golden. The centers will stay soft.
- Cool & enjoy: Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
