Oat, banana, coconut cookies - wheat/sugar free!



Ingredients
3 large, over-ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil, warmed slightly (see comments below on this)
2 cups organic rolled oats (or fine oats)
2/3 cup almond meal (or milled seeds or oatmeal if allergic to nuts like me!)
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut, finely shredded (I used dessicated coconut from health food shop)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt

Preparation

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine mashed bananas, vanilla and coconut oil in a bowl and set aside.

In another bowl mix together oats, almond meal (or milled seeds), shredded coconut, cinnamon and salt.

Add dry ingredients to wet and stir in till combined.

Drop tablespoons of dough about 1 inch apart onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 12 minutes.

Note re coconut oil:

This you will have to buy from a health food shop or in the specialist section in the supermarket. It's not that cheap but is so amazing good for you! You need to look for organic cold pressed virgin coconut oil. For more info click these links underneath.
