Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 tbsp oat flour (blend up some oats in order to make the oat flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

2. Mash the banana in a bowl. Add the rest of the remaining ingredients into the mashed banana and mix.

3. Allow to sit for 15-18 minutes so that the mixture thickens up.

4. Form into golf ball sized balls (I just used a heaped tsp) – do not flatten and place onto a nonstick baking sheet/pan.

5. Bake for 15 minutes.

*I was able to make 7 cookies from this recipe but you can double the recipe again if you’d like to make more.

*I also used wholegrain spelt four for this recipe as I didn’t have enough oats so you can use whatever flour you want, works with anything.

Enjoy 🙂

  4. Melt the coconut oil and almond butter on the stove or in the microwave. Add the syrup and vanilla extract. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. Using your hands, form the dough into small golf sized balls. Make sure to really squeeze the dough together so the cookies don’t fall apart when you make a thumbprint in them. Let the balls sit for 5-10 minutes to help them set.
  6. Using your thumb, press into the centre of the cookie to flatten down slightly.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops start to turn brown.
  8. When the cookies are warm, add some healthy chocolate spread on top.. Yummaay!

cacao hazelnut cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (150g) whole raw hazelnuts
  • 1/3 cup (50g) whole raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup (25g) ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (25g)

  • desiccated coconut (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Grind the hazelnuts and almonds in a food processor until they are coarse and release just a little bit of oil. Be careful not to process for too long or you’ll have hazelnut butter!
  3. Add the ground almonds, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse a few times until well combined. It should be like a fine flour. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl.
  4. Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla and syrup to the bowl and stir the mixture.
  5. Form the dough into balls (about golf sized balls) and flatten somewhat. They don’t expand much.
  6. Bake for approximately 12 minutes.
  7. When cool, top with melted dark chocolate and dessicated coconut if preferred.

Enjoy,
