Chocolate Chunk Banana Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Serves: 4 cookies

Prep time: 5 mins

Bake time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 large banana (more ripe bananas will result in a sweeter cookie)
• 3 Tbsp chopped dark chocolate
• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp almond butter (or other nut butter)
• 1 Tbsp coconut sugar (optional - can sub maple syrup too)
• a pinch of sea salt

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mash the banana well with a fork then add half of the chopped dark chocolate along with the rest of the ingredients.
3. Allow the mixture to rest a few minutes then divide into 4 portions on the baking sheet. Gently pat the cookies down as they will come out the same thickness as they go in, then sprinkle the remaining chopped chocolate over each cookie.
4. Bake the cookies for about 15 mins then remove and sprinkle with a bit more sea salt if desired. These can be frozen if you want them as ready-to-go snacks.
