• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 medium Mashed banana (ripe)

• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.

3. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms. Fold in the chopped nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate chips, if using.

5. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand, as they will not spread much during baking.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.

7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
