Trailhead Cookies!
To celebrate Bike to Work, School & Workout Day we decided to bake cookies! Our Trailhead Athletes deserved them after surviving a week of hard workouts!
These cookies are gluten free, egg free, sugar free and delicious – yes, really. At different times, I have experimented with adding chocolate (always a good choice) and substituting some almond butter for the oil. Feel free to use your favorite nuts too. Today I used hazelnuts.
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine,
3 large bananas, mash them with a fork.
2 cups of oats (use gluten free oats if you like. I did)
1/3 cup of canola oil
1 cup of chopped dates
1 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts etc.)
1/4 flax seeds
1 tsp of vanilla
Let ingredients rest together for 15 minutes then drop in small spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until brown. Cool slightly and enjoy!
