Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
• 1/4 cup almond butter (or other nut/seed butter of choice)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit like chopped apricots, raisins)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for extra fiber and omega-3s)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
3. Add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, chia seeds (if using), cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients.
4. Using a sturdy spoon or spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed and the oats are fully coated with the wet mixture. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. You can use a cookie scoop for consistency.
6. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to about 1/2-inch thickness. The cookies won’t spread much during baking, so shape them as you’d like them to look.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are set. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of your cookies.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and prevents them from breaking.
9. Once completely cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container.
