Oats and Banana Bites

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (or gluten free oats)
1 cup oat flour (or gluten free oat flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8–1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup pureed overripe banana (roughly 2 large bananas, see note)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons  vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir through until well combined. Add the banana and vanilla (and chocolate chips, if using) to the dry mixture, and stir through until combined. Using a cookie scoop, place mounds of the batter (about 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons) on to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, until set to the touch and a touch golden. Remove and let cool on pan for just a minute, then transfer to a cooling rack.
