Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups hazelnut flour or almond flour (224g)
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 2 cups old fashioned oats (192g (I love Bob's Red Mill Extra Thick))
• 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut (30g)
• 1 cup walnuts (coarsely chopped, 125g)
• 1 cup pitted dates
• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 3 large eggs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. 2

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together hazelnut flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir in oats, coconut and walnuts until evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Add dates, bananas, vinegar, and coconut oil to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add eggs and process just until combined.

5. 5

   Pour date mixture over hazelnut flour mixture and stir until combined and no pockets of dry ingredients remain.

6. 6

   Scoop batter out in scant 1/4-cupfuls and place on prepared baking sheet about 2-inches apart. Flatten batter balls to 1/2-inch thick disks with the bottom of a glass or mug.

7. 7

   Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or cookie tops are set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy warm or cold.
