Power Cookies (Four Ingredient)

These Four Ingredient Power Cookies are an update of a recipe from 2013. They’re gluten free (not paleo, though), vegan, egg free, dairy free and whole grain for lasting energy.

INGREDIENTS :

1 large very ripe banana, mashed
2/3 cup natural peanut butter, or other nut or seed butter
1 cup whole rolled oats - certified gluten free if necessary
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Optional: 1/3 cup add-ins of choice, dark chocolate chips, coarsely chopped nuts or dried fruit; etc.

INSTRUCTIONS :

Preheat the oven to 350. Coat a cookie sheet with nonstick spray, or cover with parchment or a nonstick pad.
In a food processor combine all the main ingredients (no add-ins yet). Pulse until the oats are broken into small pieces, the banana is no longer visible, and the whole thing has formed a thick paste.
If you are using any add-ins, transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and add your mix-in of choice. Use a fork to gently fold into the batter until evenly distributed.
Roll into 2-inch balls and evenly space on cookie sheet. Press down gently to flatten balls slightly.
Bake for 15 minutes and cool completely before serving or storing.

NOTES :

Store in an airtight container for up to five days, or freeze for up to three months. This recipe originally appeared at www.buttercreamfanatic.com
