Instructions How to Make Vegan Oatmeal Banana Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. In a large mixing bowl mix together 1 cup oats, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/3 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and 1 & 1/2 cups flour.
4. Add contents of food processor to large bowl with dry ingredients. Mix well with a spatula. If you’re wanting to add chocolate chips, add in 1/2 cup of Vegan chocolate chips.
5. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to place cookie dough on parchment paper on baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. They should still be a bit soft when they’re taken out of the oven. Let them cool for 10 minutes, and then dive in!
