Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized ripe banana, peeled
- 100 g (1 cup) rolled oats (check gluten-free if required)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (soft or melted)
- 50 g (1/2 cup) chocolate chips (check gluten-free if required)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (325°F, fan).
- Peel the banana and mash it in a medium-sized mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add the oats, honey, and coconut oil to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Let the mixture rest on your countertop for 10 minutes. This allows the oats to soak up moisture and helps with shaping the cookies.
- After resting, stir in the chocolate chips and a pinch of salt, reserving a few chips for garnish.
- Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture into your hands, roll it into a ball, then flatten it into a thick, round disk about 1 cm thick.
- Place the shaped cookies onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the tray from the oven, sprinkle with reserved chocolate chips while warm, and allow the cookies to cool completely before serving.
