Even though it is summer, I have been craving being in the kitchen lately! I love finding healthier options to make and trying them out. This one was a first for me, and I know I will be making them again. They were simply delicious, and just the perfect amount of sweetness. Thanks to Nourish Move Love for the recipe inspiration. I enjoyed how you could make this recipe your own by adding/subtracting ingredients to your liking. I’d love to hear if you try this recipe – tag me on Instagram if you make a batch!
Easy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of oats
- 2 mashed bananas
- 1 cup nut butter of choice
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
- A pinch of sea salt mixed in (My added touch to the recipe – you could choose to top with sea salt for a different option)
- 1 tsp maple syrup (Another added touch of mine)
- Optional add-ins: flax seed, chia seeds, raisins, nuts
Directions:
- Place rolled oats in blender or food processor and blend until oats become oat flour. The consistency is up to you!
- Mix together mashed bananas, nut butter and add-ins with oat flour. Add in chocolate chips and mix well.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined & baking sheet. Don’t forget to spray with cooking spray!
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes. The original recipe called for 10 minutes, but I found the 15-17 allowed them to set better and not be as mushy. Again, your preference!
- Remove cookies from oven, let cool, and enjoy!
