["Pre-heat oven to 175u00b0C (350u00b0F).", "Cut up the bananas into a bowl and mash with the back of a fork. (I like to leave a few larger chunks of banana to create some contrast when you bite into the cookie ) Add all ingredients, except for the oats, into the bowl and stir to combine.", "Add the oats little-by-little until it reaches a banana-oat ratio that you're happy with and stir everything together.", "Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place six spoonfuls of the ""batter"" on the sheet, shaping each one into a nicely formed circle with the back of your spoon. (If you have a mold and are a strict perfectionist, now's the time to break it out )", "Place in the oven until golden brown and crispy on the top and bottom, but still soft and gooey in the middle, which should take about 10 minutes. (Check back frequently! You won't want to risk burning them )", "Remove from the baking sheet, drizzle with some maple syrup, and garnish each cookie with a basil leaf. Happy devouring! "]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
