Banana + Oatmeal Cookies

Banana + Oatmeal Cookies

This is a power packed cookie from my Healthy Baking Cookbook that will energise and sustain your body for hours! It's my healthy cookie recipe that's perfect to pack into a lunch box and made from banana, rolled oats, coconut, cinnamon and vanilla. What I love about making them is that you can just throw all the ingredients into a bowl and mix. 

INGREDIENTS

Makes 12 cookies

2 smashed ripe bananas

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup Healthy Chef Protein (you can use natural or vanilla in these cookies)

150 g rolled organic oats

100 g  desiccated coconut

100 g fresh dates (pitted and chopped)

1 apple, finely chopped

60 ml extra virgin olive oil

60 ml maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Generous pinch of sea salt

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 160°C / 320°F – fan forced.

Combine smashed banana, vanilla, cinnamon, olive oil and maple.

Add oats, coconut, dates, apple and Healthy Chef Protein.

Mix together well and allow to sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Form into 12 cookies. I like to use a small ice cream scoop for this.

Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until golden.

Cool and enjoy.

Best eaten within 1 - 2 days.
