- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ - 1 cup chopped dates
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine bananas, almond butter, coconut milk, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, and then set aside.
- In another bowl whisk together oats, almond meal, coconut, hempseeds, baking powder and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the chopped dates.
