Wholemeal Dairy Free Chewy Banana Oat Cookies


SUGAR FREE - FAT FREE - EGG FREE - DAIRY FREE


These wholesome cookies make the perfect snack to keep you going between meals or as an on the go breakfast!

They're soft and delightfully chewy, yet firm enough not to make a mess.

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp chai seeds 
2 tbsp water
350g banana (approx 2 ½ medium bananas)
½ tsp cinnamon
1 ¼ cups oats (115g)
½ cup plain wholemeal flour (50g)

METHOD

Preheat oven 180ºc / 160ºfan 

Place the chia seeds in small container with the water and leave to sit for 10 -15 minutes, until they begin to gel.

In a medium bowl mash your bananas, and stir through your chia seeds

Add the oats, cinnamon, flour and mix well until everything is combined. You should get a cookie dough that has a slightly sticky texture

Using a metal tablespoon scoop the mixture and place rounds on your prepared baking tray. The mix will be quite sticky so making the perfect shape will be tricky. I find using a metal spoon dipped in cold water helps with this mix. Flatten your cookies slightly before baking,

Place in the oven on the middle shelf and bake for approx 25-30 minutes

Allow your cookies to cool slightly before removing from the baking tray and then place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely
