Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coarse desiccated coconut
- 1 tablespoon wheat germ or ground linseed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans or almonds, roughly chopped
- 75 gram coconut oil (or butter if not eating dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate drops**
- 1/2 cup blackberries (or any other berry of choice)
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 175°C and line two trays with baking paper.
- 2In a large bowl mix together oats, coconut, wheat germ, salt and nuts.
- 3In a small pan gently warm coconut oil (or melt butter). Add honey, vanilla and mashed bananas and stir to mix well.
- 4Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Add chocolate drops and stir with a fork a few times. Add blackberries and lightly mix until just combined.
- 5Place 2-3 heaped Tbsp per cookie onto trays. Squash down with a fork, leaving a little room between each for spreading.
- 6Bake, one tray at a time, for around 25 minutes or until golden.
Notes
- Once biscuits have cooled a little, return the trays to the still-warm oven and leave the door ajar until the oven has cooled. This way, the biscuits will stay crunchy for a lot longer. - The cookies can be frozen – just warm briefly in the microwave to speed up defrosting. **Check label if eating dairy-free.
