Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 0.5 cups almond butter
- 0.25 cups pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana and mix thoroughly until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts if desired.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Healthy Gooey Oatmeal Cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
