  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the mashed banana, egg, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and peanut butter. You can use an electric hand-held mixer or spatula.

  3. Add flour and combine.
    ¼ cup oat flour
  4. Fold in the oats, dried fruit, seeds, and almonds.

  5. Using a 2 tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, shape the mixture into cookie shapes and gently press down.

If you want them crisper, bake for extra 2 minutes.
