Healthy Cookies

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 30 mins | Quantity: 16-18 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas – the spottier the better!
  • 1/4 cup (70g) peanut butter – or swap for any nut or seed butter, or even tahini!
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tblsp oat milk
  • 1 cup (110g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (110g) oat flour – simply whizz some oats in a food processor or blender to a fine(ish) powder
  • 1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sultanas or vegan chocolate chips (see note)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4 and line a couple of large baking trays with parchment or silicon mats
  2. Peel the banana and break into chunks into a large bowl. Mash with a fork
  3. Add the nut butter, syrup, milk and vanilla and whisk together
  4. Stir in the remaining ingredients, mixing very well
  5. Scoop out a spoon of mixture, about the size of a golf ball and flatten and shape into a cookie - I find using wet hands helps with this!
  6. Lay them onto your trays - you can put them fairly close together as they don't really spread
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until set and lightly golden
  8. Eat while still warm or leave to cool completely before storing in an airtight container

Notes

  • You could try chocolate chips AND sultanas or swap them both for nuts. Or even try all three together!
  • These cookies are best when eaten warm but they still taste great even after a few days
