Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup banana about 1/2 a banana, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch nutmeg
- pinch kosher salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium sized saucepan set over medium heat, whisk together the coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup and banana until melted and smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil and then remove from heat.
- Whisk in the vanilla extract. Add the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Fold together with a rubber spatula until combined. Let cool for two minutes, then fold in the chocolate chips. It's okay if the chocolate chips melt a little.
- Using a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and place on the cookie sheet. Place the cookies in the refrigerator until set, at least 30 minutes. Store the cookies in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy!

Notes
- Store cookies in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- Creamy natural peanut butter is preferred for best texture; chunky peanut butter may alter cookie consistency.
- Maple syrup binds ingredients and adds sweetness; alternatives like agave or honey can be used.
- Choose mini chocolate chips such as vegan or gluten-free options if desired.
