Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup almond meal if you don't have almond meal, you can just pulse regular almonds in a blender or food processor until they arrive at a flour-y texture
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut sweetened or unsweetened
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil at liquid state or melted butter although then they won't be vegan
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and put your oven rack on the second row (so it'll be fairly high).
  2. Place oats, almond meal, coconut, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder in a bowl and whisk well. Add bananas, vanilla and coconut oil and stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Place heaping spoonfuls (I use a medium cookie scoop) of dough on a cookie sheet and flatten them slightly with your finger (they won't bake down like regular cookies do, so if you want them more flat, which I always do, you'll need to make them the general shape you want them when they come out of the oven).
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly and eat all of them yourself because, hey, no added sugar.
