FAQs
Q: Can I use gluten-free oats and flour?
A: Yes. Use certified gluten-free oats and a gluten-free flour blend. The texture may change slightly.
Q: Can I make these without honey or maple syrup?
A: Yes. If your bananas are very ripe, you can skip the syrup. The cookies will be less sweet.
Q: Can I use other fruit?
A: Yes. Small diced apples or raspberries work, but adjust baking time and moisture as needed.
Q: How do I keep blueberries from turning the dough purple?
A: Fold them in gently and do not overmix. Cold or just-thawed berries bleed less.
