Calories 220cal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup (39g) coconut sugar
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ cup (30g) flaxseed meal
- ½ cup (56g) almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups (119g) rolled oats, gluten free if desired
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup (75g) frozen or fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup (28g) chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, mix together melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, mashed banana, and vanilla and almond extracts until smooth and creamy.
- Next fold in flaxseed meal, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and mix until a thick dough forms.
- Next add in oats and chia seeds and gently fold into the batter until evenly distributed. Lastly fold in blueberries and walnuts.
- Use a large cookie dough scoop or 1/4 cup to scoop dough onto prepared cookie sheet (We want these to be BIG cookies!). Make sure you tightly pack the dough into a ball before putting it onto the sheet.
- Gently press the top of the dough down just a little to flatten the tops. Bake for 13-16 minutes until edges begin to turn slightly golden brown. Allow cookies to cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan and transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Makes 8 big cookies.
Notes
These cookies would be excellent even if you're not enjoying them for breakfast. They are freezer-friendly and make a delicious snack. See the full post for storing & freezing instructions!
Feel free to sub chopped pecans or almonds for the walnuts, or leave them out entirely.
If you want these to be a little more treat like, feel free to add 1/4 chocolate chips to the batter.
