Oat & banana cookies with almond butter

Preparation time: ±10 min + 20 min baking time

Ingredients:

  • 320 g ripe banana (± 2 large bananas)
  • 120 g oatmeal
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 50 g dried cranberries
  • 50 g unsalted nuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed
  • 1 tbsp La Vida Vegan almond butter

Preparation method:

  1. Peel the bananas and slice them. Puree the banana with a hand blender or mash very finely with a fork.
  2. Add the oatmeal and flaxseed to the mashed banana and mix well with a spatula.
  3. Add the cinnamon, cranberries, chopped nuts, and La Vida Vegan almond butter. Mix everything evenly into a cohesive dough.
  4. Use your hands or an ice cream scoop to form small balls and press them lightly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Don’t make the cookies too thick; they will retain their shape during baking.
  5. Bake the cookies for about 16-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 170 °C (top and bottom heat).
  6. Allow to cool briefly. The cookies will not become completely crispy, but will remain deliciously soft on the inside.

Tip: Also delicious with extra cranberries or a pinch of sea salt on top for contrast.
