Ingredients

  • 3 whole Large Ripe Bananas
  • 1/4 cups All Natural Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cups Applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Organic Brown Rice Crisp Cereal
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/3 cups Coconut Flakes (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine and mash bananas, peanut butter, applesauce, and vanilla in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine oats, brown rice crisps, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and stir together.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir. Fold in chocolate chips (and coconut, if using) until mixture is blended together (the batter will be very moist).
  • Drop the dough by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, just until the cookies set.
  • Remember, it will take a little longer than baking regular cookies because the bananas add extra moisture. Take out of the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Move to a plate and nibble away.
