Healthy Banana Cookie Recipe

Although a lot of the time I try to eat whole foods, lots of healthy salads and good stuff like that, sometimes you just need to have something naughty...that's actually healthy at the same time. Although the ingredients in these biscuits are all really good for your body, they are definitely something that is still a treat as the coconut oil can make it quite fattening. But they are super yummy and tastes much more interesting than your ordinary cookie with naughty processed ingredients.

Ingredients:
♡ 1 cup of rolled oats
♡ 1 cup of oat flour
♡ 1/2 cup of dates
♡ 1/4 cup of water
♡ 1 tbsp of coconut oil
♡ 1 tsp of peanut butter
♡ 1/4 cup of ground almonds
♡ 2 tsp cinnamon
♡ 1 very ripe banana
♡ 1/4 cup of raw cane sugar/coconut sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius

2.  Put all the dry ingredients into a large bowl, blend the dates with the water into a blender (I used a Nutribullet) and then add the blended dates to the dry ingredients. Mash up the banana and add that as well.

3. Use a wooden spoon to mix up all the ingredients until you get a slightly wet cookie mixture. 

4. Take small handfuls of the cookie batter and mold them into cookie sized circles. Place them on a baking tray lined with grease proof paper (so you don't have to use any oil/butter) and place the cookies on the tray. You can bunch up the cookies quite close together as they wont expand. Put them in the oven for 10 minutes

6. Take them out of the oven and leave them to cool for a while, they are really delicious to eat warm with a glass of almond milk (which is what I did and I had a great time!)
