Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare your equipment by preheating the oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 4) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper. If you are using an air fryer, you can skip the preheating for now.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, porridge oats, ground almonds, cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a thick, sticky dough.

Gently fold the raspberries into the dough using a spatula. Be careful not to over-mix, as you want the berries to remain mostly whole rather than breaking apart.

Scoop out rounded tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls. If baking in the oven, place them on the prepared trays and gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand.

To bake: Place in the oven for 15 minutes until the edges feel firm and the cookies are golden brown. To air-fry: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C for 4 minutes, then arrange the cookies in a single layer (working in batches if necessary) and cook for 8-10 minutes.
