Banana Chocolate Oat Cookies (Bananakies)



Banana Chocolate Oat Cookies (Bananakies)

This cookie is really good.  It makes a good breakfast food.  I have changed the recipe but put a link for the original recipe.  Rod has got tons of banana's and is going to make these for the children's lunch at school tomorrow.  I was just ahead of him today.  Yum,  I have had to many today.

Healthy Banana Chocolate Oat Cookies
Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
3 ripe bananas, mashed  (or 2 mashed bananas and 2/3 c. mashed cooked sweet potato's)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cinnamon   ( I add 1/2 t. nutmeg and 1/4 t. cloves when I use sweet potato's)
1/3 cup shredded coconut
2/3 cups sliced almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup dark chocolate chips (I like to use some chocolate chips and cinnamon chips)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, salt, baking powder, coconut, almonds, and cinnamon together so everything is well combined.
3. In another mixing bowl, combine your wet ingredients – mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and unsweetened apple sauce.
4. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients until well combined. The dough will be a little moist which is what you want.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop 1/2 tablespoon of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment (or cooking spray) and cook for 14-16 minutes. Enjoy!
