Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, nut butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Step 3

Add the oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined. Stir in the oats, dried fruit, and chocolate chips, if using.

Step 4

Let the dough sit for about 5 to 10 minutes so the oats can soak into the mixture a little.

Step 5

Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie.

Step 6

Bake the cookies for 10 to 14 minutes or until they’re set, but still soft.

Step 7

Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
