Vegan Banana Oaty Cookies

14th July 2021 by letseatsmart Leave a Comment

Studded with silky dark chocolate chunks, these perfectly soft and sweet cookies are naturally gluten-free and vegan. This is quite possibly the simplest cookie recipe EVER?!

This recipe is super customisable! If you want some variation, why not add a handful of crystalised ginger or chopped up toasted nuts for a delicious sweet treat!

These vegan banana oat cookies are:

  • Naturally sweetened with banana
  • A simple one-bowl cookie recipe
  • Flourless
  • Super easy to make, requiring just 5 ingredients, ready in 20 minutes or less
  • Gluten-free, oil-free and refined sugar-free
  • Firm on the outside and soo soft inside
  • The perfect little treat at any time of the day!

Packed with filling oats and sweet bananas, these cookies are nutritious enough for an on-the-go breakfast but delicious enough to satisfy a sweet tooth! They are great for meal prep, work and school lunches.

So what’s in these cookies?

Oats – used instead of flour, are the base of this recipe. Naturally gluten-free, they contain various nutrients and are packed with fibre. Also a good source of protein.
Banana – used as a binder and sweetener. Use ripe bananas – the riper the banana the sweeter the cookie!
Peanut butter – also used as a binder, good source of healthy fats. You can substitute it for any other nut butter of choice or use seed butter (sunflower, pumpkin) for a nut-free recipe.
Vanilla extract – optional flavour enhancer
Dark chocolate chips – optional, but highly recommended šŸ˜‰

AD | This ā€œRaffaelloā€ inspired almond coconut AD | This ā€œRaffaelloā€ inspired almond coconut smoothie bowl is an absolute must! It’s vegan, gluten-free and oh so delicious! 🄄  What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to make. As a new mum I find it hard to find the time to make nutritious meals so the idea of chucking everything into a blender to make a delicious meal is really appealing.  Thanks to the frozen bananas this smoothie bowl is basically a bowl of soft scoop ice cream. It’s a balanced recipe that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert. The new Protein Drink Mix - Vegan from @herbalifeuk not only adds to the flavour but it’s also high in protein, contains 22 vitamins and minerals AND it’s gluten-free and sugar-free!
For the smoothie:
• 1.5 servings (42g) Herbalife Nutrition Protein Drink Mix - Vegan (Vanilla flavour)
• 1 frozen green banana (using ripe bananas will alter the flavour)
• 50ml coconut drink + 100ml water (adding more if you need)
• 1.5 tbsp desiccated coconut
Toppings:
• 8 whole almonds
• 1 tbsp flaked almonds
• 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
• 1⁄2 tbsp almond butter
• vegan white chocolate chunks
Method:
Place all of the smoothie ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth, for around 30-60
seconds.
Transfer into a bowl and decorate with whole and flaked almonds, desiccated coconut and white choc chunks before drizzling with the almond butter.  #smoothiebowl #coconut #raffaello #smoothie #protein #proteinsmoothie #proteinshake #vegan #veganuk #veganfood #veganrecipes #vegandietmealplan #veganbreakfast #vegansnacks #foodphotography #foodstylist #foodstagram #veganprotein #veganuary #veganlife #friendsnotfood
