Ingredients

  • 2 overripe bananas
  • 1 1/4 cups oats
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 12 ROLO Candies
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325. Grease a cookie sheet, or line it with parchment paper or a sil pat.
  • Peel your two bananas and place in a bowl. Use a fork or spatula to mash them well. Add the oats, flax seeds, cinnamon, salt, agave, and cocoa powder if using. Stir with a spatula until combined.

  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop out 12 even balls of the dough and space them evenly on your cookie sheet. Unwrap your ROLO Candies and carefully place them in the center of each cookie. You want to press down gently so that they are firmly entrenched while ensuring that there is a whole circle of dough surrounding the ROLO Candy so that the caramel doesn't melt out.

  • Bake at 325 for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for five minutes before removing. These will store in a tightly sealed container on the counter for 2-3 days.

Notes

  • If your bananas are extra sweet, leave out the agave. The cookies may not need it!
  • These are also great with chocolate chips mixed in or chopped dried fruit. I've also made these with peanut butter for a protein-filled breakfast cookie. Use the base recipe and have fun!
