INGREDIENTS
• 1 flax egg (1 tbsp. flaxseed meal + 2 1/2 tbsp. water)
• 1 very ripe banana
• 1/2 cup unsalted natural peanut butter (I used crunchy.)
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups gluten-free oats
• 1/2 cup non-dairy chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup raisins
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
Make your flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp. flaxseed meal with 2 1/2 tbsp. water. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash your banana.
Add in your peanut butter, sea salt, flax egg, and vanilla extract. Mix till smooth.
Fold in your oats, chocolate, and raisins until it forms a dough.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, roll about a tablespoon of cookie dough on the palm of your hands and flatten to create your cookie. Now place each one on a greased or lined baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, just until they're set.
Notes:
• Keep for about 4 to 5 days at room temperature, 1 full week in the refrigerator, or 1 month in the freezer
