Cookies for Dessert

Last night when we went for dinner to our friends house I brought dessert. I brought the raw avocado pie (key lime pie) and a few of the cosmic cookies that I was busy baking this weekend to bring to the clinic for naturopathic medicine week.

Kevin also baked cookies for dessert. They were great so I asked for the recipe. He had found the recipe on a blog and now I'm sharing it with you! Such a simple recipe! Kevin said sometimes he grabs a few for breakfast or a snack before the gym!

Thanks Kevin and Aaron!!!

2 cups oats
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 medium overripe bananas
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chopped dates

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spray with nonstick spray.

Use a good blender to blend the oats into fine flour. Pour the oat flour into a mixing bowl and add the baking soda and cinnamon.

Put the peeled, overripe bananas into the blender and blend until completely smooth. Add to the oat mixture along with the sunflower seeds and dates, and mix until well combined.

Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop to place spoonfuls of the cookie dough on the baking sheet.

Bake for 12 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
