To make the two-ingredient cookies, start by pouring the muesli into a bowl 1, then peel the bananas 2, remove the strings, and cut them into pieces. Place the banana pieces in a potato masher 3
and let the puree fall into the bowl with the muesli 4. Mix with a spoon to combine the mixture 5 and then, if desired, add the chocolate chips 6. Mix again with the spoon to distribute the chips evenly,
then take a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper, and distribute small mounds of dough with a spoon, making sure to compact the cookies well and space them apart to prevent them from sticking during baking 7. Let the cookies rest in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, this way they will be firmer and hold their shape better. Then proceed by baking the cookies in a preheated static oven for 15 minutes at 356°F (in a convection oven at 320°F for about 10 minutes). Once cooked, remove the cookies from the oven 8 and, with the help of a spatula, gently detach them from the tray and transfer them to a rack to cool 9. Your two-ingredient cookies are ready to enjoy!
