Ingredients

• 2 medium Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Prunes (pitted)
• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (e.g., dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a food processor or blender, pulse the prunes until they form a thick paste. If the prunes are too firm, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes beforehand and drain well.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, prune paste, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

Add the rolled oats, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a dough forms. Fold in any optional mix-ins, such as dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

Step 6

Scoop spoonfuls of dough (approximately 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and slightly golden around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these Healthy Vegan Banana Prune Cookies as a wholesome snack, breakfast treat, or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
