Can you use an egg instead of the chia seeds? 

The purpose of the chia seeds is to provide structure so the cookies hold together. While I have not tried using an egg, I would think 1 egg could be used in place of the chia seeds.

can you use regular peanut butter instead of peanut flour?

Yes! Simply drizzle with drippy peanut butter rather than mixed peanut flour with milk. If your peanut butter is hard, microwave for 15-30 seconds until soft, then drizzle each cookie.

Ingredients

  • 3 small mashed ripe bananas
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Peanut Butter Drizzle:
  • 1/2 cup Peanut flour*
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the banana. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
  3. With a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough into 12 mounds. Don't worry about spacing, they won't spread when being baked. Press down with the bottom of a glass that has been sprayed with non stick spray or wet your hand slightly, and flatten each cookie to about 1/4 inch.
  4. Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes or until the cookies are slightly firm, but soft to the touch.
  5. Let cookies cool for about 5 minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
  6. Peanut Butter Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut flour with 1/4 cup of milk until smooth. Add more if yours is too thick. Drizzle each cookie.
  7. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

*You can use just peanut butter instead. Omit milk and heat in microwave for 30 seconds, then drizzle on cookies.

      Just FYI, I entered this into the weight watchers recipe builder and they are 2 smart points each (when you make 12). I used the chocolate pb2, and it gave them a tad more sweetness! Thanks for the recipe. My 8 month old and 2 year old loved them.

    Not to be a downer but I didn't like these at all. I'm a health nut and use chia seeds, ground flax and oats all the time and found this to be extremely dry and bland. I would recommend using applesauce in a recipe. Adds the liquid needed to stay moist.
    Reply
    • Meg says

      April 27, 2015 at 7:39 pm

      I am sorry you didn't like them, Brianna. But as for the applesauce, the bananas act as the moisture so too much added from addition of the applesauce would have made them too wet from my experience with these cookies.

        I tried these out with a few changes. I used 2 large bananas, mixed natural peanut butter and almond milk into the rest of the mixture and added dark chocolate chips. Made more than 12 cookies b/c I think I made them too thin/small. I think next time though, I will have to try the PB drizzle. Very impressed though. :)

    These cookies are the bomb dot com. I just polished 3 cookies off for breakfast on my way to work and am not craving the rest of the batch because they are filled with good satiating carbs /sugars rather than a bunch of processed sugar. (Yes, I am 27 years old and I still say phrases like the bomb dot com. Just be grateful I didn't say they are the bomb-diggedy--though that would also be accurate.)

    Made these last night and it definitely passes my test. My 2 and 3 1/2 year old accepted them as cookies and have eaten half the batch. They passed another test in that when my 2 year old holds them they don't crumble and make a huge mess. Definitely going to make them again, and maybe with the drizzle.
