Description
Delicious oatmeal cookies packed with nutrients and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp chopped walnuts
- 1 Tbsp chopped pecans
- 2 Tbsp pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup mashed banana (~1 large banana)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep and mix the dry ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray for easy clean up. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Whisk everything to combine. Wait to add the nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
- Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate large bowl, combine the wet ingredients by mashing the banana in the bowl with a fork, then adding in the eggs, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk everything together. You can add the wet ingredients directly to the dry to make this recipe even easier.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Carefully mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix because it will impact the shape and texture of the cookies! I do this part with a rubber spatula.
- Fold in the nuts, seeds & dried fruit.
- Add the cookies to the baking sheets. Use a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop to form the cookies and spread them a couple inches apart on the baking sheets. Gently flatten the cookies with a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon. These cookies will not spread much in the oven so mash them to the height you prefer.
- Bake the cookies! Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes until they are starting to turn golden brown at the edges.
- Hint: be sure to flatten the cookies to the shape you want them to be before baking them since they won’t spread in the oven!
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For extra sweetness, consider adding chocolate chips.
