Servings 16

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 2 medium bananas overripe
  • ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil or creamy almond butter
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, add 1 cup of the oatmeal. Pulse oats 3-4 times until most of the oats are broken up into a combination of small pieces and coarse flour (do not completely grind into flour).
  • In a medium bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Stir in coconut butter (or almond butter), pulsed oats, ½ cup rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Then, stir in raisins until combined. Scoop out 16 balls about 1 ½ tbsp (we use this #40 scoop). Use your fingers to slightly flatten cookies into cookie shape (they will not spread). 
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until set in middle and tips are slightly brown. Avoid overcooking or they will dry out.

Notes

  • Swap the ½ cup of raisins for ⅓ cup of mini chocolate chips
  • Smear cookies with almond butter or peanut butter for a satisfying meal on the run.
