Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large extra ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup (128g) natural peanut butter or almond butter
- ¼ cup (78g) pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg or flax egg (for vegan option)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (92g) oat flour
- 3 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (95g) old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 to 3 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ⅓ cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
- Optional: ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, natural peanut or almond butter, pure maple syrup, egg (or flax egg for vegan), and pure vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Add the oat flour, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and kosher salt. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in the old fashioned oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and walnuts if using. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a large cookie scoop, portion about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Add a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until set around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
