Ingredients
Scale
- 3 mashed bananas (ripe)
- ⅓ cup apple sauce
- 2 cups oats
- ¼ cup almond milk
- ¼ cup raisins or nuts
- 1 cup good dark chocolate chunks (Lily’s brand is my fave)
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking as soon as your cookie dough is prepared.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and apple sauce. This mixture will serve as the wet base for your cookies, providing moisture and natural sweetness.
- Stir in the oats, making sure they’re fully incorporated. The oats are essential for giving the cookies their body and texture.
- Add the almond milk, raisins or nuts, dark chocolate chunks, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix everything together until well combined. This is where the flavors really start to come together, so feel the excitement!
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. There’s no need for perfection here; the rustic look adds to the charm of these healthy treats.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary, and you want them perfectly moist and chewy.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This patience pays off with the perfect texture.
