Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup raisins or dark chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Mash banana, then whisk in maple syrup, oil, egg, and vanilla.
  2. Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
  3. Fold dry ingredients into wet, then gently fold in oats and raisins or chocolate chips until combined.
  4. Drop 15 tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the sheet, bake 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

The cookies firm up as they cool, so don't leave them on the baking sheet much longer than 5 minutes or they'll keep cooking from residual heat. If the dough feels too sticky to scoop, chill it for 15 minutes.
