Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- ½ cup natural almond butter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ¼ cup oat flour (plus an additional ¼ cup if needed)
- 2 tablespoons ground flax
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash well. Add the almond butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the oats, oat flour, ground flax, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined. If the batter is still slightly runny, add the additional ¼ cup of oat flour as needed.
- Add the chocolate chips and shredded coconut flakes and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop and scoop 12 cookies onto each sheet. Bake the cookies for 9-12 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let the cookies cool completely before storing in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Feel free to add a few teaspoons of chia seed and hemp seed if you prefer.
- If you don't have ground flax seed, feel free to swap it for an additional 2 tbsp oat flour.
- These cookies are gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free cookies, be sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips. These cookies are vegetarian, but not vegan.
- You can either purchase pre-made oat flour or make your own by blending oats into a fine powder in a food processor or blender.
- You can also add vanilla protein powder to the recipe. To do that, use 1 cup oat flour + ¼ cup vanilla protein powder instead of 1 ¼ cup oat flour.
