Banana Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 3 large bananas (must be ripe)
  • 1.5 cups of One Degree Sprouted Oats
  • 1/2 cup Hu Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1/3 cup of Add Ins (see below), optional
  • Sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Set oven to 350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add in oats, folding in the chocolate chips or add ins of your choice. Softly mix.
  4. Use an ice cream scoop to pack the cookie batter, placing them on the lined baking tray. I use a drinking glass to press down each pile to make even-sized cookies. I fit 8 cookies per tray. These cookies do not spread when baking.
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Add an extra 1-2 minutes if you’ve mixed in additional ingredients like coconut or walnuts for example. Make sure to watch in case they over-brown.
  6. Sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt, if desired.

Add-In Suggestions: 

  • Hu Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
  • Unsalted chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.)
  • Unsalted seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, hemp, chia)
  • Let’s Do Organic Coconut Flakes
  • Dried Fruit; diced
  • Tosi Snack Bars (crushed into pieces)
  • 1/2 tsp. Heinen’s Ground Cinnamon

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
