Ingredients

½ cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs
¾ cup bananas mashed, about 2 medium
4 tablespoons butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cup oats quick cooking
½ cup flour*
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup pecans coarsely chopped
½ cup shredded coconut unsweetened
½ cup dried fruit raisins or cranberries
¼ cup pumpkin seeds raw

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Make the Base. Combine maple syrup, eggs, bananas, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, whisk to combine. Wait until butter has cooled down some after melting to add it to the bowl and then whisk until combined.
½ cup pure maple syrup, 2 eggs, ¾ cup bananas, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir in Dry Ingredients. Add in oats, flour, soda, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until everything is well mixed. Pour in pecans, coconut, dried fruit, and seeds. Stir by hand until well incorporated.
1 ¾ cup oats, ½ cup flour*, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ cup pecans, ½ cup shredded coconut, ½ cup dried fruit, ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
Scoop and Bake. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out 2 ½ - 3 tablespoons worth of cookie batter for each cookie and place at least 1 inch apart on the sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 14-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the middle is no longer soft.
Let cool to room temperature before eating. Enjoy!

Notes

Oats: Use quick cooking oats for the perfect texture. Mix half quick-cooking oats and half old-fashioned oats for a chewier bite.
Additions: Grab your favorite additions and toss them in. Make sure to try and keep the same ratio of add-ins to batter.
Sweetener: You can decrease to ¼ cup without much change to the consistency of the cookies. If the batter feels dry, try adding in a tablespoon or two of milk.
