Ingredients
10 tablespoons banana puree (1-2 bananas)
1/2 cup creamy almond butter (or nut butter of choice)
2 cups organic gluten free sprouted quick oats or rolled oats
2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
A pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp organic ground ceylon cinnamon (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Take the ripe bananas and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly using a fork or a potato masher until they are smooth and no lumps remain.and
Step 2
Measure out 10 tablespoons of the banana puree and mix with your nut butter of choice and mix until well combined.
Step 3
Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, sea salt and cinnamon (if using) and mix until ingredients are fully combined.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet or a tray with parchment paper. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to scoop out small ball of "dough." Shape into cookies by flattening with your hands until desired shape is achieved. *It helps to spray your hands with a little avocado oil to prevent sticking. You can also flatten them on the parchment paper using the back of the spoon.
Step 5
Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the cookies have firmed up and are set.
Step 6
Once the cookies are firm, you can enjoy them immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
