- 1 large egg or flax egg (for vegan option)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (92g) oat flour

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, natural peanut or almond butter, pure maple syrup, egg (or flax egg for vegan), and pure vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Add the oat flour, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and kosher salt. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in the old fashioned oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and walnuts if using. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a large cookie scoop, portion about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Add extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
