Healthy Banana, Walnut and Oat Cookies

March 16, 2015 By Hana Leave a Comment

My son has a really sweet tooth and I’m always experimenting with healthy cookie recipes. With these Healthy Banana, Walnut and Oat Cookies I wanted to make them really nutritiously dense and packed with vitamins and minerals, but still be a really tasty biscuit.

I added some molasses sugar as I find it’s the sugar and fat that makes that nice satisfying crunch in a biscuit. As much as I’m trying to avoid too much sugar, especially the refined type, I believe that there is a space and necessity for sweetness in our lives. I always choose unrefined sugar varieties in my recipes and always cut the amount to a bare minimum to make the recipes taste great and worth it.

With these Anzac style biscuits I am really exploring how much goodness I can pack in and still make it taste great and appeal to the kids. They were a massive hit with my son and my husband and let me tell you these two are fussy ones!

So I might say these are kids approved cookies! The dark chocolate pieces are really there just for me. So give these a try and do let me know how you like them.

Author: Hana, Nirvana Cakery
Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • 100g ground walnuts (1 cup)
  • 75g desiccated coconut (1 cup)
  • 55g molasses sugar (1/3 cup)
  • 90g oats (1 cup)
  • 80g sunflower seeds (1/2 cup)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of sea salt
  • pinch of bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 medium banana, mashed
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1tsp vanilla
  • 50g dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan)
  2. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
  3. Ground the walnuts if you haven't done so already and put into a mixing bowl.
  4. Add desiccated coconut, molasses sugar, oats, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, sea salt and bicarbonate of soda and mix all together until well combined. The molasses sugar is often lumpy so you might have to break it down with your hands.
  5. Mash the banana, add the melted coconut oil and vanilla and mix together.
  6. Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  7. Finally add the chopped dark chocolate and stir gently in.
  8. Either with a hand or a scoop form small balls with a mixture onto lined baking sheet.
  9. Flatten gently with back of a fork or palm of your hand. I always use my hand as I like them nicely round and quite flat.
  10. Depending on the size you should have about 24 cookies.
  11. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  12. Enjoy!

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

White Yule Log from last year ❄️ Chocolate spo White Yule Log from last year ❄️ Chocolate sponge cake with white chocolate frosting, all gluten-free & vegan! You can find the recipe on my blog in the Christmas round up post for easy access.🎄

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨

Sending much love Hxx 🕊
