Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed (1 heaping cup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil partially melted.
  • 2 cups quick cooking oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup peanut flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • OPTIONAL- 1/4 tablespoons coconut sugar organic cane sugar, or brown sugar
  • OPTIONAL: dark chocolate chips
  • OPTIONAL: Protein Frosting 2T protein powder + 1/2T almond butter + almond milk (add until you hit your desired consistency

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 350F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Then, in a large bowl, mash 3 bananas. You'll want your bananas to be very thin and runny. Next, add in vanilla, peanut butter, and coconut oil.
  • Add in quick cooking oatmeal, peanut flour, ground flax seed, and baking powder, and mix until combined. At this point, I suggest tasting the batter. Don't worry, there's no eggs, this batter is completely edible! If you'd like, add in 1/4 cup of your choice of sweetener, do it now. I opted not to do this because I personally don't like super sweet cookies. You can also add chocolate chips, too :D
  • Next, spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into your palm. Roll into a ball and place on cookie sheet. Then press into a cookie shape. These cookies wont rise or expand much. Repeat.
  • Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until they begin to brown.

Notes

  • If the peanut butter you have isn't drippy, you can always add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to a cup of firm peanut butter.
  • Almond flour, oat flour, or coconut flour can be used in place of the peanut flour.
  • Rolled oats can be used in place of quick, but you will need to run them through a food processor or blender to break them up a bit.
