Ingredients
2cupsold-fashioned oats
2/3cupalmond mealif 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
1/3cupshredded coconutsweetened or unsweetened
1/2teaspooncinnamon
1/2teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonbaking powder
3ripe bananasmashed
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1/4cupcoconut oil at liquid stateor melted butter although then they won't be vegan
1cupchocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and put your oven rack on the second row (so it'll be fairly high).
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.
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).
Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly and eat all of them yourself because, hey, no added sugar.
