Banana Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

Banana Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

1 cup (100g) oats
¾ cup (90g) whole wheat flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp coconut oil
¼ cup (63g) mashed banana
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (120mL) pure maple syrup
1/2 cup (40g) Cranberries
1/2 cup of diced apricots

In a bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter or coconut oil, mashed banana, and vanilla. Stir in the maple syrup. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in the fruit. Let the cookie dough rest for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Using a spoon and spatula, drop the cookie dough into 15 rounded scoops onto the prepared sheet, and flatten to the desired thickness and width using a spatula. Bake at 325°F for 10-12 minutes. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
