Instructions
Mash the bananas until smooth.
Add the bananas to a medium bowl and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
Chill batter in the fridge while the oven heats to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop out 1/4-cup portions onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten to about ½-inch thick.
Bake 18-20 minutes or until set and golden brown around the edges. Let cool on the pan.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Notes
To make them smaller: Portion into 1-tablespoon balls, flatten, and bake for 16-18 minutes.
To make them without flaxseed, substitute and equal amount of whole-wheat flour.
Warm the peanut butter and honey to make them easy to stir into the other ingredients.
Swap in dried fruit for the chocolate chips if desired.
To make these without coconut, simply use additional oats instead.
Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats.
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to help you portion out the cookies.
Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet so they hold together well.
