Ingredients:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour + 2 Tbsp.
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (from 1½ medium bananas)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped peeled sweet red apple (such as Gala, Fuji, or Honey Crisp)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Place the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until well combined.
  3. Place the avocado in a medium-size bowl, and mash until smooth. Add the banana, egg, and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped apple.
  5. Drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon, and gently flatten until round and about 1/2-inch thick. Bake until slightly brown and firm around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool before serving.
