Notes
- Use ripe bananas wherever possible that can allow you to skip the honey as an additional sweetener.
- Try to add in mixed chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts etc, also chia seeds are a great addition.
- add a spoon of extra oats to make the mixture if runny or melted coconut oil or peanut butter if the mixture is very dry.
- Adding coconut oil, honey is totally optional. either uses honey or peanut butter
- Baking times differ according to oven temperatures however the average time is not more than 15 minutes.
- If you notice the chocolate chips are getting burnt, cover them with a silver foil in the last few minutes.
- To store, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge, I wouldn’t leave them on the countertop because of the fresh fruit we used. also since it doesn’t have any flour, they attract more mould due to extra moisture present.
- To freeze, place them in freezer-friendly bags and freeze for up to 3 months. thaw them on the countertop or microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
- Nutritional value is approximate and calculated for one cookie.
