I kinda think these are a mix between a fruit/nut bar and a cookie. If you want bread-like or doughy cookies these aren't the recipe for you. On the other hand if you want healthy, satisfying and sweet, these are a treat you will become addicted too.

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour (I often use 1/2 cup each almond flour and meal)

1/4 cup coconut flower

½ cup unsweetened coconut

½ cup steel cut oats

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder (optional, they can be done without)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp vanilla

¼ cup raw honey

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

¼ cup coconut oil

1 mashed very ripe banana

2 eggs, room temp

½ cup each cranberries and raisins

¼ cup chopped dates

½ cup chopped walnuts or almonds

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, I'm just a chocoholic!) - I bet unsweetened cocoa powder would be good too! Hmmm...ideas!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 325 degrees
2. Mix flour, coconut, oats, baking soda, salt cinnamon.
3. Heat coconut oil and add to dry ingredients, stir
4. Mix eggs, honey, applesauce, mashed banana’s and vanilla, add to dry ingredients, Mix.
5. Add all remaining ingredients.
6. Roll into small balls, bake for 12-15 mins, until browned. They fall apart easily so if you make them small, they are easier to store and won't fall apart as easily.
