Peanut butter and banana oat "cookies" step by step
- Preheat the oven to 180˚c. Mash the banana in a bowl and add the nut butters. Mix until well combined..
- Add the honey, vanilla, salt, sugar and cinnamon and stir again..
- Blitz 1 cup of the oats in a food processor for a few seconds (they don't need to fully blitzed, just slightly ground up). Add to the bowl with the other quarter of un-blitzed oats and mix well with the other ingredients..
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and use a desert spoon to measure your balls of cookie "dough". It will be a sticky mixture, similar to flapjack dough. Use your hands to form the cookies into a ball and place onto the parchment, evenly spaced apart. (the cookies wont spread as much as regular ones)..
- Cook for about 15 minutes. Check them after this time - they should start to crisp on the top and should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. If not, give them another 5 minutes or so. You can turn the oven down a little if they are browning too much..
- Enjoy with a nice cup of tea! (or a hot choc like my kiddies!).
