1/4 cup nut butter (I used peanut butter)
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened apple butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup gluten-free quick oats
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used peanuts!)
2 tbsp ground flax seed
2 tbsp coconut flour
1/4 cup no-sugar-added chocolate chips
Optional: 1/2 scoop of Human Improvement Chocolate or Vanilla Performance Plant Protein
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, blend together mashed bananas, nut butter, apple butter, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, chopped nuts, flaxseed, coconut flour, and optional protein powder.
Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon, scoop dough into 12 to 15 equally sized balls and place on the baking sheet.
Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon to ensure even baking.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are firm and lightly golden.
Cool on a wire rack and store in the fridge for up to one week.
