Banana Nut Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 1/2 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Mash the bananas until smooth — they need to be well-ripened with brown spots, since they're the only source of moisture and sweetness in this dough.

3. 3

   Stir in oats, walnuts, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and vanilla until fully combined.

4. 4

   Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheet, flattening each slightly with the back of a spoon (they won't spread much on their own).

5. 5

   Bake 14-16 minutes until golden at the edges.
