Introduction

An easy vegan-friendly recipe that has NO added sugar or flour. Many possible substitutions and adaptations: unsweetened or sweetened applesauce for the bananas; almond meal for the flax seed meal; extra virgin olive oil for the coconut oil (although I really recommend using the coconut oil); chopped walnuts, etc. for the coconut; add a tablespoon or two of natural peanut butter...

*This can easily be a gluten-free recipe by seeking out GF rolled oats.

Ingredients

    1/4 cup Coconut Oil, slightly warm
    3 Large Ripe Bananas (~ 1.5 cups mashed)
    1 tsp Vanilla Extract
    1/3 cup Shredded Coconut
    1/3 cup Flax Seed Meal
    2 cups Rolled Oats
    1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
    .5 tsp Sea Salt, Fine
    1 tsp Baking Powder
    6-7 oz. Carob Bar or Chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine coconut oil, bananas, and vanilla in a bowl, then set aside. In another large bowl, mix together oats, flax seed meal, coconut, cinnamon, sea salt, and baking powder. Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Fold in carob chips. Place small scoops of dough (2-3 teaspoons in size) on a parchment paper-lined pan (I use a Silpat). Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until cookies are fully set.

*Note: The dough's consistency is slightly looser than regular cookie dough.

Serving Size: Makes about 3 dozen small cookies.
