Oaty Banana Walnut Cookies

Using a food processor or spice grinder, process 1/2 cup of oats into flour.

In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, ground oat flour, spelt flour, almond meal, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Set aside.

Mash the banana with the vanilla and rum extracts.

In a food processor or blender, blend the banana, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, and coconut oil until smooth.

Add the banana mixture to the oat mixture and stir just to combined. If dough seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. You want to be able to form dough into sticky balls. Fold in the chopped nuts, chocolate chips and coconut, if using.

Roll the dough into balls (about 1 large tablespoon each) and place them on a cookie pan lined with parchment paper. Flatten the cookies. Bake at 350ºF for about 15 minutes, or until the edges start turning golden brown.
