Banana Oat Cookies

Ingredients

1 medium sized ripe banana – peeled
1 cup rolled oats – check they’re gluten-free if required
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp coconut oil – either soft or melted
½ cup chocolate chips – check they’re gluten-free if required
pinch salt

Directions

Preheat your oven to 170C/325F (fan).

Place the banana in a medium-sized bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the oats, honey and coconut oil and give everything a good stir until combined. Leave to rest on the countertop for 10 minutes, so that the oats can absorb the moisture from the other ingredients.

After 10 minutes, add in the chocolate chips (reserve a few to sprinkle on once the cookies are cooked) and the salt. Stir to combine.

Take a tbsp. of the mixture in your hand, roll into a ball and then squash to flatten into a thick disk (approx. 1cm thick). Place on a baking tray and repeat until all your mixture is used up.

Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
Take out of the oven, sprinkle with the reserved chocolate chips and leave to cool.
