Ingredients
1 medium mashed ripe banana
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup almond flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/4 cup raisins
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash the banana. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until combined.
3. Stir in almond flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
4. Fold in dark chocolate chunks and raisins.
5. Scoop 12 equal cookies onto the baking sheet and slightly flatten them.
6. Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are golden brown.
7. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use old-fashioned oats for the best chewy texture.
Flatten cookies slightly before baking—they don’t spread much.
Let them fully cool before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
