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 Equipment Method

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)

Equipment

  • Food processor

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor combine bananas, dates, coconut oil and vanilla. Process until smooth.
  3. To the mixture, add cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Process again for a few seconds
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups of the oats and process for 5 seconds just to chop the oats
  5. Remove the blade and take the food processor bowl off the base.
  6. Stir in the remaining oats and the chocolate chips.
  7. Spoon the dough into large heaping tbsps onto the baking sheet in a mound. Continue to do this. I get roughly 10.
  8. Bake for 10 mins. Rotate the tray around. Bake for another 8 mins. They should be golden on the bottom. Enjoy!
