Vegan cacao oatmeal cookies

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Peel the bananas and place in a large bowl. Mash them using a fork till smooth.
3. Add cacao butter to a small bowl and melt over a pot of boiling water.
4. To the bananas, add the almond milk, melted butter, oats, ground-up almonds, cacao powder and mix well. If the mixture is too dry, add more milk.
5. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes so that the oats soak up some of the liquid and bind the dough.
6. Take 1 tablespoon of the dough and shape the cookies however you want. We went for hearts for Valentine’s Day.
7. Bake the cookies for 15 – 20 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool.
