Ingredients

• 1 large, ripe banana
• 1/3 cup (85g) nut butter
• 3/4 cup (105g) oats
• 1/4 cup (37.5g) chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350oF / 180oC
2. Mash banana in a bowl. Combine nut butter, oats and chocolate chips with banana.
3. Scope out 14-15 cookies onto a lined baking sheet (if you skip the chocolate chips you will have fewer cookies)
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until firm

Note: Depending on the type of oats you use, sometimes the cookies are a little chewy. Simply put the cookies in a container with a lid when warm to allow cookies to absorb the moisture. They will be less chewy within 30-60 minutes. If they last through the day, I typically store them in the refrigerator, so they don't go bad. After all, they are made of fruit.
