Note: These measurements will lead you to make 10 cookies.
Ingredients:
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (made into flour) (always use organic oats)
* 2 very ripe bananas
* 3 Medjool dates
* 2 Tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
* 1 flax egg ( made by mixing 1 Tbs flax meal with 3 Tbs water)
* 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
* 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
* 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips (I use enjoy life mini chips)
* Total we are using 2 cups of oats!
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F.
* Add 1 cup oats to a food processor or blender and pulse until you get coarse oat flour.
Now add bananas, pitted dates, apple sauce and and flax seed mixture to it and process until well combined.
Now add whole old-fashioned rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips to the other ingredients and mix with a spatula.
(Take your time at this step because the oat flour absorbs liquid only slowly).
Now use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make uniform sized cookies and place them on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.
Flatten them with your fingers or back of cup.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden. Then let them cool down completely.
