Ingredients

  • 3 bananas pureed or equal to 1 1/2 cups puree (a hand blender works great)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup old fashion oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup oat flour ~ grinding your old-fashioned oats in a blender or food processor works great.
  • *Use gluten-free oats if needed.
  • 3 Tbsp Quinoa Flakes
  • 1 tsp baking powder ~ corn-free if needed (notes)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp allspice
  • 3 Tbsp chopped nuts ~ omit for nut-free I used walnuts.
  • 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. I used Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips.
  • 1/4 cup dried goji berries. Or raisins if you prefer.
  • Nut butter of choice ~ Sunflower seed butter for nut-free

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine pureed bananas and vanilla.  Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add oats, oat flour, quinoa flakes, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • Mix together.  Add banana mixture to oat mixture. Stir to combine. Add nuts, chocolate chips, and goji berries. Stir well.
  • Using a small cookie scoop drop mounds onto prepared baking sheets. About 2-tablespoons each. Bake for 10-13 minutes, depending on the size of the cookie. They will be slightly firm when done.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Spread about 1/2 Tbsp of any nut butter over each cookie, like frosting or leave them plain.
  • Enjoy!
