Ingredients
•
3 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats, divided
•
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
•
1/3 cup raisins
•
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
2 ripe bananas
•
2 eggs
•
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
•
1 tablespoon honey
•
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Grind 2 1/4 cups oats in a food processor to yield 2 cups ground oats. Add walnuts, raisins, flax seeds, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir in remaining 1 cup oats. Stir thoroughly with a spoon, but do not grind further.
3
Make a well in the center of oat mixture. Add bananas, eggs, applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract. Mash bananas and stir until dough is well combined.
4
Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon, as they will not spread much during baking.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and the bottoms are lightly golden, about 11 to 15 minutes.
