Description

Ingredients

• 2 large mashed ripe bananas
• ½ lemon, zest and juice
• 1 cup oats
• 1 cup white whole wheat flour (or flour of choice)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 6-8 teaspoons jam of choice (I used my Blackberry Chia Jam with Lemon and Rosemary)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350º F and prepare a cookie sheet for baking. Add bananas and lemon to a large mixing bowl (mash bananas if needed). Stir in oats, flour, chia seeds, flax, and salt and mix until combined.
• Use hands to form about 8 equal-sized balls of dough and spread on baking sheet. Use thumb to press a hole two-thirds of the way down the center of each ball and flatten slightly to form cookie shape. Fill center of each cookie with about a teaspoon of jam and place cookie sheet on the center rack of oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
