Servings: persons

8 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon maple extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 mashed banana
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (+ more to sprinkle)
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
6 Medjool dates, chopped and pitted
1/4 cup unsalted toasted and slivered almonds
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup halved walnuts
palm-full chia seeds (to sprinkle)

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy.
3
Add in egg, extracts, and mashed banana, beating until combined.
4
Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt.
5
At a lower speed, stir in oats. Then add in chocolate, nuts, and fruit until batter just comes together.
6
Make lumps of batter by hand with a diameter of 2/3 palm width. Mush these onto cookie sheets, leaving room between each cookie. Sprinkle with some kosher salt and chia seeds.
7
Bake in oven for about 10-15 minutes. They should be done when the edges are golden brown and the top of each cookie no longer shines.
8
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite drink (I recommend milk).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
