Oatmeal Cacao Banana Cookies

I've been making oatmeal banana cookies for the last few years. I'm always adding and subtracting ingredients, but these below, are here to stay.  If cooked for the perfect amount of time, I promise these will melt in your mouth.  They are loaded with healthy fats, Omega-3, and protein. The banana sweetens the cookies but if you want more of a sweet kick you can add in coconut sugar. These cookies are the perfect snack, dessert, or  even breakfast.  They take 5 minutes to throw together and 10 to bake. I always hear people say, "cooking takes too long ESPECIALLY baking", well now you don't have any excuses.   I promise you won't be let down if you make these, just try not to eat all of them in one sitting   : )

Ingredients

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400
  2. Mix all dry ingredients into mixing bowl and then add banana, egg, cashew butter, and coconut oil
  3. Make sure to mash the banana and cashew butter really well with the dry ingredients. Once done mixing, the batter should be thick and wet. This makes it easy to scoop into cookies.
  4. Place cookies onto parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes!
