Description
When in Maine, you eat blueberries! These cookies came together to use up my extra wild Maine blueberries and just for healthy fun!
Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
1 cup spelt flour, or whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 egg, slightly beaten
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, or coconut oil, melted
3 tablespoons milk (any kind)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the oats, spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Set aside
- In another mixing bowl whisk together the mashed banana, egg, butter, milk and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine until just mixed. Add in the blueberries, coconut and chocolate.
- Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough at a time onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping the cookies two inches apart. Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes until firm. Place on a cooling rack and enjoy right away.
Notes
Feel free to make substitutions, I used what I had on hand. Sub out coconut for chopped almonds, chocolate for chocolate chips, and add in other nuts, whatever you are in the mood for!
