Ingredients

Makes 8 Servings


  • 1 c (81 g) rolled oats
  • 1 c (104 g) oat flour
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.2 mL) iodized salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp (0.6 mL) nutmeg
  • 1 c (24 mL) mashed overripe banana, or 2 bananas
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C). In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir through until well combined.



  2. Add the banana and vanilla (and chocolate chips, if using) to the dry mixture and stir through until combined. Using a cookie scoop, place mounds of the batter (about 2-2 1/2 tbsp or 30-37.5 mL) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

     

    Optional: Try raisins or other dried fruits in place of the chocolate chips!



  3. Bake for 14-15 minutes, until slightly golden. Remove and let cool on pan for just a minute, then transfer to a cooling rack.
