Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (80g)
  • 2 cups oats (180g)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (60ml)
  • 1/4 cup raisins or nuts (40g)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (170g, e.g., Lily’s brand)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (3g)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and unsweetened applesauce. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, mixing until evenly distributed.
  4. Stir in the oats, making sure they’re fully combined with the banana mixture.
  5. Pour in the almond milk to moisten the oats, then incorporate the raisins or nuts and dark chocolate chunks. Be sure to mix everything evenly.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  7. Spoon out portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly using the back of a spoon or your hand.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and lightly golden.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with almond milk for dipping, pack for lunch boxes, or crumble over yogurt. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week or frozen for three months.
