Ingredients

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 medium bananas ripe
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coconut flakes
2/3 cup whole flax seeds
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins
2 cups flour

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and butter for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and beat until combined. Add the egg, and beat again. Add the vanilla after.
1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Make sure to break the bananas into pieces as you add them, and beat until they’re well combined and broken up. Add the baking soda and salt and mix well.
2 medium bananas, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add the oats and raisins, and mix until they’re combined. Add the flax seeds, coconut, and flour, and mix slowly until just combined.
1/2 cup coconut flakes, 2/3 cup whole flax seeds, 2 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup raisins, 2 cups flour
Using your 1/4 cup dry measure, scoop out dough and drop onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your palm to squish them a little – you want them about three inches around.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 15-17 minutes, or until edges are browned. Let stand 1 minute. Remove and cool on wire racks.
Freeze whatever you aren’t using the next day – just pop a frozen one into the toaster quickly to heat it in the morning when you need it.

Notes

If you use a commercial brand peanut butter, start with 1 1/2 cups flour and work your way up from there to avoid making them too dry.
These cookies are so delicious on their own, but feel free to add some chocolate chips for an extra treat!
