Ingredients
  

  • 3 Bananas ripened
  • 2 Cups Rolled Oats
  • ½ Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
  • ¼ Cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ Cup Flax Seeds ground
  • ¼ Cup Hemp Seeds
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • ½ Cup Walnuts chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the overly ripe bananas using a fork until smooth.
    3 Bananas
  • Add peanut butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
    ½ Cup Smooth Peanut Butter, ¼ Cup Pure Maple Syrup, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • In the same bowl, add oats, ground flax seeds, hemp seeds, baking powder, and salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated. If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
    2 Cups Rolled Oats, ¼ Cup Flax Seeds, ¼ Cup Hemp Seeds, ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder, ¼ Teaspoon Salt, ½ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips, ½ Cup Walnuts
  • Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb some of the moisture, resulting in a firmer cookie texture.
  • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto a parchment paper-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie.
  • If you prefer flatter cookies, you can gently press down on each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for longer freshness. Enjoy!
