Peanut butter and banana oat "cookies"

I had a banana that was looking a tad over ripe so decided to go and look for a way to use it up that wasn't banana bread! I have adapted a recipe I found online (a latte food) but have left out a lot of the sugar and maple syrup as the honey and banana give it all the sweetness we need (but you could add more if you like). Also, I added lots more nut butter as this is my favourite bit!

Ingredient

Food ration :

8 - 10 cookies

Cooking time :

20 minutes

medium very ripe banana

1 cup

peanut butter (I used a mix of almond and peanut)

1.5 tbsp.

honey, melted

1 tbsp.

brown sugar

1 tsp

vanilla extract

1/4 tsp

salt

half

a tsp cinnamon

and quarter cups of oats

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180˚c. Mash the banana in a bowl and add the nut butters. Mix until well combined.

* Step 2

Add the honey, vanilla, salt, sugar and cinnamon and stir again.

* Step 3

Blitz 1 cup of the oats in a food processor for a few seconds (they don't need to fully blitzed, just slightly ground up). Add to the bowl with the other quarter of un-blitzed oats and mix well with the other ingredients.

* Step 4

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and use a desert spoon to measure your balls of cookie "dough". It will be a sticky mixture, similar to flapjack dough. Use your hands to form the cookies into a ball and place onto the parchment, evenly spaced apart. (the cookies wont spread as much as regular ones).

* Step 5

Cook for about 15 minutes. Check them after this time - they should start to crisp on the top and should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. If not, give them another 5 minutes or so. You can turn the oven down a little if they are browning too much.
