Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 packets Kodiak Maple & Brown Sugar Peak Oatmeal
  • 1 banana, mashed (about one medium banana)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup almond or cashew butter
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk

Superfood Mix-ins

  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (shells removed)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons cashews, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons hemp hearts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet and Base Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the oatmeal packets, mashed banana, nut butter, egg, and whole milk. Stir thoroughly with a spoon until the banana is fully mashed and the mixture is well blended.
  3. Add Seeds and Nuts: Stir in the pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, chopped cashews, flax seeds, and hemp hearts until everything is evenly incorporated into the dough.
  4. Let Dough Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes. This resting time lets the liquid absorb fully, helping the dough to bind together better.
  5. Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place dough scoops onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press each scoop down slightly to form thick, round cookies.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden brown on top, indicating they are cooked through.
  7. Cool and Store: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit cashews.
  • You can swap whole milk for any plant-based milk to make the recipe dairy-free.
  • Ensure the banana is ripe for natural sweetness and better binding.
  • Feel free to add cinnamon or vanilla extract for additional flavor.
  • These cookies keep well stored for up to 3 days at room temperature or can be refrigerated for up to a week.
