Chocolate Banana Oatmeal cookies!
gluten free, nut free, and vegan
This cookie is packed with low glycemic index whole oats to keep you full for longer, but also has a quick jolt of natural sugars from the bananas to refuel you after an intense workout. The healthy fats in the cacao, coconut, and flax provide both antioxidants AND essential fatty acids
These cookies are great as a post workout snack on the side of your protein shake or they can make a healthy addition to your little ones lunch kit.
DIRECTIONS:
#1) Pre heat over to 350F

#5) Grease cookie sheet with coconut oil
#6) bake until golden brown
#7) let sit for 5- 10 min to cool
#8) Nom, Nom, Nom! Eat them up!
* Coconut is nut free, despite it's name. In fact, coconut is actually a fruit!
