It is important to keep fit and healthy to keep your immune system strong, so I decided to make super easy vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, sugar-free and oil-free Oat, coconut and chocolate chip cookies for a tasty snack or energising breakfast.

You’ll need:

• 3  small or 2 large ripe bananas
• 3 tbsp of cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp of  desiccated coconut (grated)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips or  crushed chocolate bar ( I used 80% cocoa)
• 1 cup  gluten-free oats
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon or mixed spice (optional)

How to make the oat, coconut and chocolate chip cookies:

1. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl using a fork. Add the cocoa powder.
2. Add the oats, coconut and cinnamon or mixed spice (optional) – then mix until it turns into a mushy, doughy texture. Fold in chocolate chip.
3. Let the mixture rest for about ten minutes. Meanwhile, set the oven to 180 C degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
4. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, equal sized balls, then press them between your palms into cookies. Place them on the lined baking tray.
5. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until golden.
6. Let them cool, then enjoy!
