Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)

1 ripe banana, mashed

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup goji berries (or dried cranberries)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and chia seeds. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

In another bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and creamy.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Do not over-mix.

Gently fold in the goji berries, dark chocolate chips (if using), and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and place rounded balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball to form cookie shapes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will firm up as they cool.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious superfood breakfast cookies with a cup of tea or coffee for a wholesome start to your day!
