Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine banana, maple syrup, oil, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until barely combined. Fold in the oats, raisins, and flaxseeds until evenly distributed. The mixture will seem a little wet.
  • Using a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop, level, and roll about 1.5 tablespoons of the cookie dough and place it on one of the prepared baking sheets, spaced at least two inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly brown on the edges and firm on the top.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

My Top Tip: Don't over-mix! When it comes to mixing the batter for these cookies, less is more. Once you've added the flour, mix it in until it's just combined (over-mixing can make the cookies tough).
Storage: You can store your cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week. I prefer to heat them lightly in a toaster oven before eating!
Freezing: Freeze your cookies on a baking sheet before placing them in a freezer bag, and they'll keep for 3 months. When you're ready to eat, place them directly into the oven from frozen until heated through.
