Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup nut or seed butter (e.g., raw almond butter)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional; can substitute with raw honey or omit)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup organic raisins
- 1 cup sprouted rolled oats (gluten-free)
- Flaky salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mashed banana, nut or seed butter, ground cinnamon, chia seeds, and maple syrup (if using). Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
- Add Mix-Ins: Stir in the pumpkin seeds, raisins, and sprouted rolled oats. Continue to mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Chill the Dough: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes. This will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape into cookies.
- Form the Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop the mixture onto a lined baking sheet. You should be able to make about 6 cookies with this batch.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, or until they are golden and set.
- Add Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle the cookies with a pinch of flaky salt while they are still warm from the oven.
- Enjoy: Let the cookies cool slightly before enjoying them. These wholesome breakfast cookies are perfect for a quick and nutritious start to your day!
Tips:
- For a sweeter cookie, consider adding more maple syrup or honey.
- You can customize these cookies by adding other mix-ins like dried fruit or nuts.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
