Vegan chocolate and hazelnut oat cookies

Chocolate and hazelnut is a classic combo so it’s no wonder these vegan chocolate and hazelnut oat cookies are super yummy. They are sugar-free and fat-free too as the bananas provide enough oil and moisture for the baking. If you’d prefer a more intense flavour, dry-fry or roast the hazelnuts for a few minutes, before chopping them. The cookies are perfect with morning coffee or as snacks during the day.
