Banana Walnut Breakfast Cookies


Description

These banana walnut breakfast cookies have everything your body needs for a healthy start to the day – bananas, oats, nuts, and no refined sugar!


Ingredients

Scale

2 medium overly ripe bananas

2 tablespoons honey

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

2 cups rolled oats, divided

2 tablespoons applesauce

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

⅓ cup chopped walnuts

⅓ cup raisins


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.

Peel the bananas and break them up into a large bowl.  Use a fork to gently mash them into a smooth paste.

Add the honey, vanilla, and egg and stir to combine.

Add ½ cup of the oats to a blender or food processor and pulse for 30 seconds until a fine flour is achieved.

Add the oat flour, remaining oatmeal, applesauce, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, walnuts, and raisins to the bowl with the bananas.  

Combine until all ingredients are mixed together and fully incorporated.

Use 2 heaping tablespoons of dough to form each cookie.

Dampen your fingers to form the cookies into slightly flattened, round cookies.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.

Transfer the hot cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store the cookies at room temperature in a covered container for up to one week.
