My kids absolutely love these Chewy Banana & Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I sneak a couple in their lunch boxes as a treat.

I love them too, as they are so easy and straightforward to make, plus they contain much less sugar than the store-bought cookies.

This recipe is also great to make use of overripe bananas.

Once the cookies have cooled down, they will keep for a few days in an airtight container.

Ingredients

  • 2 overripe bananas
  • 175g porridge (rolled) oats [6.2 oz / US 1 1/2 cups]
  • 100g porridge (rolled) oats [3.5 oz / US 3/4 cups] - to grind as flour
  • 100g chocolate chips [3.5 oz]
  • 1 chia egg [1 Tbsp ground chia seeds + 3 Tbsp of water]
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp (gluten free) baking powder
