Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, nut butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Step 3
Add the oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined. Stir in the oats, dried fruit, and chocolate chips, if using.
Step 4
Let the dough sit for about 5 to 10 minutes so the oats can soak into the mixture a little.
Step 5
Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie.
Step 6
Bake the cookies for 10 to 14 minutes or until they’re set, but still soft.
Step 7
Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 8

Chef's notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. Freeze in a freezer container for up to 3 months.
Instead of almond butter you can use creamy peanut butter.
If you don’t need the cookies to be vegan, you can sweeten them with honey instead of pure maple syrup.
If you don’t like raisins in your cookies, you can add in dried cranberries, dried cherries, or even dried blueberries.
If you want to use fresh fruit, go with blueberries. Gently stir them in so they don’t turn the batter purple.
Stir in chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds if you like nuts in your cookies.
Coconut is also a nice addition, regular or toasted.
Spice it up! Add a little nutmeg or cardamom.
