banana and date oat cookies

A perfect way to transform overripe bananas into a healthy and tasty treat. This recipe doesn’t use sugar as it’s naturally sweetened by the goodness of dates and bananas. They are a perfect treat if you are trying to manage hormonal changes as the flaxseed can help balance them out and adds great fibre too.
