Peanut butter and banana cookies

Makes 5 healthy cookies in 20mins start to eat!

Adapted from a Deliciously Ella recipe, these are so easy to make and use up brown bananas. The kids gobbled them down and have a healthy snack. These are fast becoming a firm favourite especially as they are made as and when you fancy them!

2 bananas, about 200g

2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter (or other nut butter)

1/2 tablespoon coconut oil or extra virgin oil – I’ve omitted this in my latest batch by mistake and it made no difference not being there

2 tablespoons maple syrup or 1tbsp honey

100g oats

1 tsp mixed spice

2-3tbsp seed mix (sunflower, pumpkin, Chua, linseed mix)

1tbsp chia seeds

1tbsp milled brown linseed

1tsp baking powder

Some dark chocolate drops for decorating on the top (optional, but very worth it!)

Squeeze the bananas in their skins, then peel and put in a mixing bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients, except chocolate drops.

Mix together

Thoroughly grease a tray with coconut oil

Dollop the mixture onto the tray in 5 mounds. Wet your hands, so the mixture doesn’t stick to them, then shape them into cookie shapes, about 1cm thick.

Scatter a few chocolate drops on top and press them down a bit so they don’t roll off

Place in a preheated 180°C oven for 15 min or until they start to brown at the edges

Or put 4 dollops of mixture on baking paper in the air fryer for 10min at 200°C

Remove and cool on a wire rack

Devour!

Snack time!
These were the oil free, airfryer batch. They cane out much thicker and just as tasty
