Ingredients
- 1 cup of rolled oats divided
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon of ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons of liquid sweetener I use an agave/ maple syrup mixture
- 2 Tablespoons of melted coconut oil
- ½ ripe banana
- ¼ cup of rolled oats left un-blended
- ¼ cup of chocolate chips or cacao nibs to make it raw
Instructions
- Take the first 3/4th cup of rolled oats and blend in a blender or food processor to make a course oat meal. It doesn't need to be as fine as oat flour though.
- Add the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips and blend or process them again.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the whole rolled oats.
- Form balls and put them in the fridge to set.

Notes
- Spices. Aside from cinnamon, you can also add nutmeg, ginger, or cloves.
- Nuts. Add walnuts, almonds, and cashews if you’re looking for that extra crunch.
- Dried fruits. Raisins or cranberries will provide some tartness and chewiness to the cookies.
- Peanut Butter. Add a dollop of this for more flavor! Who does not love bananas and peanut butter together?
- More vegan chocolates. If you can’t get enough of chocolate, use chunks instead of chips. Or you can also drizzle the cookies with a vegan chocolate glaze before chilling them.
