{Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies}

Yield: About 15
Time: 40 min

2 c GF old fashioned oats
1 c chopped walnuts, toasted (place on baking sheet under broiler till golden - 5 minutes)
1 1/2 c mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
1/3 c oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c mini choco chips- optional (I use Enjoy Life brand or make your own here)

In a large bowl combine oats, toasted walnuts and choco chips.  Set aside.

In a medium bowl combine banana, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and baking soda until well combined then pour into the large bowl of oat mixture.  Stir well.  Let stand 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350.

On parchment lined baking sheets drop dough by spoonfuls and carefully try to pack the dough together.  Bake 15 minutes or till golden then let cool on baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a paper towel or wire rack.  Cool completely before storing.  Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in individual servings for lunchboxes or a breakfast on the go.
