We had some very ripe bananas that needed to be used up so I decided to make some oaty cookies. I love making banana and oat biscuitsbecause they are so yummy, and they’re healthy and vegan too! This time I’ve added some chopped prunes my mum found in the cupboard and some desiccated coconut. Needless to say theseHealthy coconut & oat cookiesare gluten-free, sugar-free, fat-free and dairy-free! And really, really easy to make!!!!

You’ll need:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 Tbsp desiccated coconut
• 1 Tbsp cocoa powder or 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp chopped dried fruit (such as prunes, dates, cherries, blueberries or apricots)

How to make them:

1. Turn on the oven, setting it to 180°C.
2. Peel the bananas and put them in a blender, together with the cocoa powder and blend until you get a purée. Add the oats, coconut and the dried fruits. Mix well.
3. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
4. Put a Tbspful of the mixture into your hands and form a ball, then flatten them between your palms and place them on the baking tray.
5. Bake for about 15 minutes until they are golden brown.
6. Ask an adult to take the tray out  and to move the cookies onto a wire rack.
7. Let them cool then enjoy!
