Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 3.5 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 0.75 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup banana puree
Dry Ingredients
  • 0.75 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1.25 cups instant oats
  • 0.25 cup toasted wheat germ
  • 0.5 cup walnuts chopped
  • 0.75 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.33 cup mini-chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, honey, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and banana puree. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the old-fashioned oats, instant oats, toasted wheat germ, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in the mini-chocolate chips, reserving some for sprinkling on top.
  5. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Sprinkle additional mini-chocolate chips on top if desired.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies appear set.
  7. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • For longer shelf life, keep them in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Freeze unbaked cookie dough for up to 3 months and bake straight from the freezer.
