Ingredients Highlights
Don’t have almond butter on hand but have almonds? Make your own almond butter in a food processor or high-speed blender. You need around 2 cups + 2 TBSP of almonds to make 1 cup of almond butter.
Bananas are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamins B6 and C, and other antioxidants and phytonutrients. Ripe bananas are easier to digest and have higher levels of antioxidants as they ripen.
Ceylon Cinnamon is also known as Cinnamomum verum or true cinnamon. It has a lighter, sweeter flavor and more health benefits than the more common Cassia cinnamon found in most grocery stores.
With the Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens in this recipe, you not only get 5 different types of collagen but also camu camu, acerola cherry, horsetail extract (silica), and zinc gluconate to ensure your body can actually USE the collagen you’re taking.
Steel-cut oats are one of the least processed types of oats available and are denser and chewier than rolled oats or instant oats. They also contain about double the amount of fiber of rolled oats.
Walnuts are neuroprotective and support heart health. They are loaded with antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, molybdenum, and biotin.
Hi Nigar and Christy!
Great question. Bananas are the sweetener and the binder in these cookies. Applesauce, mashed sweet potato, and even canned pumpkin could be possible options. Let me know if you try one of these and how it works out for you.
To your health!

Hi Linda! I used uncooked steel cut oats. These are chewy cookies. Feel free to experiment with cooking them though.
Happy baking!

Hi Ann! That's a great question. I have not tried this particular recipe using rolled oats but I bet you could make it work. You may need to experiment with the ingredient amounts to get the consistency right. Let me know how it turns out for you!
Thanks for being here!
