- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon golden ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Add-in Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar-free mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup peanuts, finely chopped
Topping
- 1 tablespoon each: sugar-free mini chocolate chips and peanuts, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add peeled bananas. Using a sturdy whisk or fork, mash until smooth. Add the remaining wet ingredients: peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, flax eggs and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients: oats, baking soda and baking powder. Using a rubber spatula, fold until well mixed. Fold in chocolate chips and peanuts.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Optionally, press toppings into the tops of each cookie. Using a fork, flatten each cookie to desired thickness. They won’t spread much during baking.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, carefully lift cookies onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
