1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

2 eggs
1/4 cup yogurt
2 Tbsp oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 Tbsp lemon juice
3 bananas mashed
1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins or cut apricots)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups rolled oats
1 1/3 cup w.w. flour (or spelt)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2/3 cup raisins or chopped dried fruit
8 tbsp chocolate chips
2 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup flax meal (not flax seed)
1 cup pure maple syrup
6 Tbsp almond butter (may use cashew, peanut, hemp seed butter)
3 tsp vanilla extract

In a large bowl combine oats, flour, salt, cinnamon, coconut, raisins, chocolate chips and baking powder. In a small bowl whisk together flax meal, maple syrup, almond butter and vanilla.
