Banana Chocolate Chip Superfood Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Ensure that there are no pits/pit fragments in the dates before adding them to your food processor.
  3. Add the ripe banana and process until semi-smooth.
  4. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients and process until well combined and uniformly chopped.
  6. Use a spatula to scrape the sides as needed.
  7. Transfer mixture to a small bowl (you can skip this step to save on dishes, I just find its easier to scoop the dough from a bowl rather than my processor).
  8. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto your cookie sheet.
  9. The cookies wont spread very much so dont worry about spacing them out too much.
  10. Use a fork to gently flatten the cookies before decorating with extra pumpkin seeds.
  11. Bake for 10-13 minutes until the cookies are firm with lightly browned bottoms.
  12. Remove pan from oven and allow them to sit for a minute or two on the pan before moving them to a cooling rack.
  13. Great served with a cold glass of almond milk.
  14. Storage: Once fully cooled, store the cookies in a vented container for the first day or two before storing them in an airtight container.
  15. I found that leaving them open to air kept the texture firm, while storing them in a airtight container from day one made them a little too moist.
  16. After a couple of days I sealed the container to keep them from becoming dry.
  17. These cookies store well at room temperature for up to a week.
  18. For gluten-free cookies make sure to choose certified gluten-free oats and chocolate chips.
  19. Make sure to double check the other ingredients too.

dates, banana, oats, pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips, ground, chia seeds, hearts, coconut oil
