Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional: chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and any optional ingredients like chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.

            Scoop and Shape: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread a little.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies look set and slightly firm to the touch.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Serve these delightful cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite beverage, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
