Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mash banana with a fork. Stir in maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.

Add flour mixture to banana mixture, stirring just to combine; do not over-mix. Fold in chocolate chips, if desired. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned.

Transfer sheet to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove cookies from sheet and let cool directly on rack.
