Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Vegan healthy cookie guilt-free sweet treat nutritious delicious wholesome snack homemade gluten-free dairy-free vegan

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed banana, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and dried cranberries or raisins, if using. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or your hands, form the dough into small cookie-sized rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie as they will slightly spread while baking.
Gently press down on each cookie with a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthy cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite hot beverage!
