Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Prunes (pitted)
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (e.g., dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
Using a food processor or blender, pulse the prunes until they form a thick paste. If the prunes are too firm, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes beforehand and drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, prune paste, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed. Stir until well combined.
Add the rolled oats, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a dough forms. Fold in any optional mix-ins, such as dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
Scoop spoonfuls of dough (approximately 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and slightly golden around the edges.
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 these Healthy Vegan Banana Prune Cookies as a wholesome snack, breakfast treat, or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
