INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 medium banana, mashed
• 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 cup unsalted natural peanut butter
• 2 tsp pure vanilla
• 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mash banana with a fork. Stir in maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
4. Add flour mixture to banana mixture, stirring just to combine; do not over-mix. Fold in chocolate chips, if desired. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer sheet to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove cookies from sheet and let cool directly on rack.
