Lactation Cookies (Healthy Recipe)

In a medium bowl, peel the banana and mash with a fork
Add the remaining wet ingredients which are the honey, vanilla and melted coconut oil then whisk together
Separately in a large bowl add the dry ingredients - rolled oats, brewers yeast, flaxmeal, cinnamon, baking powder and a good pinch of salt. Add the mini chocolate chips and/or cranberries and mix together.
**If you haven't tried brewers yeast before, know that it has a strong, slightly bitter flavor. You can reduce the amount if you prefer a milder taste
Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix together, folding through with a rubber spatula
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon out a heaped tablespoon of the cookie dough mixture, roll into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining mixture, you should have 12-14 cookies depending on your preferred size
*Note, if some of the choc chips and cranberries are left at the bottom of the bowl, you can add these on top of the cookies
Using the back of a spoon, lightly flatten the balls and shape them with your fingers into round cookie shapes
Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet to set
Enjoy your Lactation Cookies nice and warm, or place them on a wire rack to completely cool down before storing
