Ingredients

  • teaspoon double-acting baking powder 
  • large bananas ripe peeled (230 grams banana without peel)
  • teaspoon cinnamon 
  • 0.3 cup virgin coconut oil 
  • tablespoons non-dairy chocolate chips dark chopped (or chocolate)
  • 0.5 cup medjool dates packed pitted (125 grams dates)
  • cups rolled oats gluten-free divided
  • teaspoon vanilla extract pure

Equipment

  • food processor
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • wire rack

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the peeled bananas, pitted dates, coconut oil, and vanilla into a food processor. Process until smooth. I let it run for a minute or so.
  3. Add in the cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and process again until combined.
  4. Add in 1.5 cups of the rolled oats and process for only 4-5 seconds, just long enough to roughly chop the oats.
  5. Remove processor from the base and then remove the blade and set aside. Carefully stir in the remaining 1/2 cup rolled oats and the chocolate chips.Spoon a large portion of dough (about 3-4 tablespoons or so for each) onto the parchment. Do not press down on the dough to flatten - simply leave it in a mound on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake cookies for 10 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake for another 7-9 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.Immediately transfer the baking sheet onto a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then lift off muffins and place on the rack to cool completely.
