My mom and I have been creating these delicious cookies for a treat and thought they turned out well. They are a little soft and quite filling.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup spelt flour
1 cup spelt flour
1/4 cup oats
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 very ripe banana
1 t vanilla
pinch salt
pinch cinnamon (optional, if tolerated)
1/2 t baking soda
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir together until well mixed. In another bowl, mash the banana. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla to the banana bowl and stir together until they are well combined (you can squish any lumps of solid coconut oil with the spoon, although you don't have to get them all!). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir together. You can use your hands to mix and squish the dough together towards the end- this works very well!
You probably don't need to grease the cookie sheet if it's nonstick. Divide the dough into 14 pieces and roll into little balls (roughly 1.5 inch diameter) on the cookie sheet. Squish the balls into a flat cookie shape with a fork, leaving them about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 13 minutes. Please note that this time worked for us, but it could be slightly different depending on your oven. If you're not sure, you can check the bottom of the cookies and check if the sides are starting to brown to tell whether they are done.
Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
