Banana Almond Butter Oat Cookies

Makes 16 small cookies
Cook Time: 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS
2 ripe bananas
1 cup old fashioned oats
2 tablespoons almond butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
(Other optional mix ins: chocolate chips)

STEPS

1. Preheat oven to 350oF
2. In a mixing bowl, mash the 2 bananas. Don't worry if there are still a few chunks at the end.
3. Add almond butter and mix in with the bananas
4. Add vanilla, cinnamon, and coconut flakes and mix in.
5. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
6. Using a small ice cream scooper or a regular spoon, create small balls out of the "dough" and place on baking sheet. Use your hands to smoothen out the balls to look more like cookies.
7. Place in oven and let bake for 10-15 minutes. When you take them out, the oats should look golden, but the banana will make the cookie look undercooked. That's what you want!
