I love this easy nutrient-dense recipe that uses up those over-ripe bananas you have! It is sweetened by the bananas, medjool dates and some dark chocolate chips. This recipe was adapted from Angela Liddon.
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 5 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups large flake oats
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or walnuts (or combination of both)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a food processor combine bananas, dates, coconut oil and vanilla. Process until smooth.
-
To the mixture, add cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Process again for a few seconds
-
Add 1 1/2 cups of the oats and process for 5 seconds just to chop the oats
-
Remove the blade and take the food processor bowl off the base.
-
Stir in the remaining oats and the chocolate chips.
-
Spoon the dough into large heaping tbsps onto the baking sheet in a mound. Continue to do this. I get roughly 10.
-
Bake for 10 mins. Rotate the tray around. Bake for another 8 mins. They should be golden on the bottom. Enjoy!
