Servings 16
Author Jennifer Hunt, RDN, LD

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

  1. 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).

  2. 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). 
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until set in middle and tips are slightly brown. Avoid overcooking or they will dry out.

Recipe 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.
