Oat and fig banana cookies

Oat and banana cookies are super healthy as they don’t need added sugar, have no flour, eggs or dairy. These oat and fig banana cookies are gluten-free too and the pistachios or almonds provide extra (healthy) oil for softness. They are perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea or snacking during the day.
