Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Ripe banana (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy and well-blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them in at this stage.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop evenly sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to shape them into discs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are slightly firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your healthy, guilt-free cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
