Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas ripened
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 2 flax eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Add-in Ingredients
- ½ cup dried fruit chopped to small pieces if needed
- ½ cup nuts finely chopped, or seeds
Topping
- 2 tablespoons each: dried fruit and nuts/seeds
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 fruit and nuts.
- 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.
