Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup rolled whole grains, dry
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana ((3-4 bananas))
  • ½ cup shredded carrot
  • ½ cup grated apple ((you may include the peel))
  • ¼ cup chopped hazelnuts
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup unsweetened dried cherries
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a dark metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mash the bananas with a potato masher or a fork. Grate the apple and carrot. Chop the hazelnuts, if they are not already chopped.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly in a medium-sized mixing bowl. (How easy is this?)
  • Using a ¼-cup measuring cup, drop scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You will end up with eight scoops. Flatten them slightly into a cookie shape with wet hands. They don't spread, so no worries if the cookies are close together on the sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet about ⅓ of the way from the top of the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes until the cookies are firm enough to hold together. Let the cookies cool before eating to give them more time to firm up.
