Banana, Oatmeal & Cinnamon Cookies

A healthy and simple cookie recipe that's perfect for a snack. What I love about making these cookies is that you can just throw all the ingredients into a bowl, mix and bake! 

Ingredients:

• 150g smashed ripe banana
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
• 200g rolled oats
• ½ cup desiccated coconut
• ¼ cup organic maple syrup
• ¼ cup olive oil or soft butter

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 130°C / 270°F.
2. Combine all the ingredients into a large bowl.
3. Mix mixture well with your hands until it starts to bind. (you can also use a food processor).
4. Form into 12 cookies. I use a tablespoon but you can also use your hands.
5. Flatten slightly.
6. Bake in a moderately low oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden and set on the outside.
7. Cool and enjoy! 

 Makes 12 cookies

Notes: 

•  You can add- ½ cup raisins or good quality dark chocolate chips or a little of both - you can also use dried blueberries. 

• Will keep for 4-5 days in an airtight container.
