Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 450 g 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 80 ml 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 190 g 2 cups oats
  • 60 ml 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 40 g 1/4 cup raisins or nuts
  • 170 g 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 5 ml 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 g 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and applesauce. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Stir in the oats until fully incorporated into the wet ingredients.
  5. Pour in the almond milk and mix in the raisins or nuts along with the dark chocolate chunks.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  7. Spoon out portions of the mixture onto the baking sheet, flattening each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cookies are firm and lightly golden.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed warm. You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Experiment with different mix-ins like dried fruits or seeds.
