3/4 cup natural almond butter or peanut butter
1/4 cup maple syrup

Dry Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup gluten-free baking flour or oat flour

Instructions

Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350ºF.
Place the bananas into a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until fairly smooth. Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla then stir until the mixture has a creamy consistency.
Add the oats, flour, baking powder, and salt (if using) into a smaller mixing bowl and whisk everything together.
Pour the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until everything is well combined. The batter should be slightly sticky.
Fold in the coconut, chocolate chips, dried fruit, and chopped pecans.
Place 1-2 heaping tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are slightly brown. Remove from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
