Banana, Oatmeal and Dark Chocolate cookies

Makes 24 smallish cookies

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups ripe bananas, well mashed
• 1tsp real vanilla extract
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
• 2/3 cup almond meal
• 1/3 cup finely shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp fine sea salt
• 1tsp baking powder
• 175g good quality dark chocolate, chopped into small chunks
  
  

Here’s what to do:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a baking tray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients: bananas, vanilla extract and coconut oil.
3. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oats, almond meal, shredded coconut, cinnamon, sea salt and baking powder.
4. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Leaving the oats to soak a bit will make them much easier to bind.
5. Stir in the dark chocolate (can be replaced with dried fruit).
6. Take heaped tablespoons and form patties on the baking tray.
7. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
8. Allow to cool completely before storing in an air tight container.
