5 from 3 reviews

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large, ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup natural crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup gluten-free granola
  • 2/3 cup almond meal
  • 3 tablespoons brown flax seed
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp date sugar
  • 4 tablespoons reduced bitterness Brewer’s yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup cacao nibs
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl combine the bananas, vanilla, coconut oil, and peanut butter. Set aside. In another bowl whisk together the oats, granola, almond meal, flax seed, chia seeds, Brewer’s yeast, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips/chunks and cacao nibs. Drop dollops of the dough, each about 2 tablespoons in size, an inch apart, onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 16 – 18 minutes, until the oats are golden. Check them about three quarters of the way through baking time to make sure the bottoms aren’t burning.
  5. The cookies will be a bit more crumbly than traditional cookies so they are perfect for using as toppings for yogurt bowls, oatmeal, or smoothies.
