Description

Banana Oat Cookies are a delicious, healthy, and gluten-free treat made with natural ingredients like ripe banana, oats, and honey. They are soft, chewy, and perfect as a snack or breakfast.


Ingredients

1 medium-sized ripe banana, peeled

100 g (1 cup) rolled oats (check they’re gluten-free if required)

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp coconut oil (either soft or melted)

50 g (1/2 cup) chocolate chips (check they’re gluten-free if required)

Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C/325°F (fan).
  2. Place the banana in a medium-sized bowl and mash it with a fork.
  3. Add the oats, honey, and coconut oil. Stir everything together until combined.
  4. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes on the countertop to allow the oats to absorb the moisture.
  5. After 10 minutes, stir in the chocolate chips (reserving a few for later) and a pinch of salt.
  6. Using a tablespoon, take a portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Flatten it into a thick disk (about 1 cm thick).
  7. Place each disk onto a baking tray and repeat the process until all the mixture is used.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and firm.
  9. After baking, sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top and let the cookies cool before serving.
