Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • ¼ cup chocolate hazelnut spread Nutella or other brand
  • cup coconut sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • cup chopped hazelnuts
  • cup dark chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl mash banana with a fork. Add Nutella, egg and vanilla and stir together until mostly smooth.
  • To the same bowl add rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix with a spatula until sticky dough forms.
  • Stir in chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
  • Using a ¼ cup cookie scoop drop cookie dough balls onto the lined baking sheet leaving space around each ball.
  • Flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or a fork to form cookie discs, about ½ inch thick. The dough will be sticky – that’s ok. You can spray the back of the spoon with non-stick spray to help the process.
  • Bake for 14-17 minutes in the preheated oven or until the cookies are mostly set and slightly browned at the edges.
  • Let cool on a cooling rack completely before serving.

Notes

The dough will be sticky which is fine! Spraying the back of a spoon with a non-stick spray will help with flattening cookie dough balls.
To make the cookies vegan, use a flax egg, dairy-free chocolate chips and vegan chocolate hazelnut spread.
