Breakfast Oat and Nut "Cookie"

Rolled Oats and Nut Cookies
Yield: 1-2 dozen
Ingredients
3 large, very ripe bananas
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup raw cashews

1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

*
Directions
Preheat oven to 350ยบ F, position oven rack in the middle of oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Combine ripe bananas, cashews, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until mixture is smooth and there are little to no lumps remaining.

In a bowl, combine oats with dried fruit, sesame seeds and chopped peanuts, and pour wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients.

Mix together so everything is fully incorporated and combined, then, using a spoon or your hands, begin forming your cookies and transfer them to your baking sheet.Note: you can place them close together since the cookies won’t rise.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until edges just begin to brown, but centers are still a little squishy.

Remove from oven, let cool 10 minutes and serve warm (or warmed up in the microwave).
