Coconut Oat Cookies
These are the perfect low-sugar treat. These are great to make with kids too and suitable for most ages- they are chewy in texture so if you want to introduce to weaning babies ensure they are competent chewers and/or these do not pose a choking hazard by slicing them thinly or breaking into small pieces.

Additional Information
Use up your ripe bananas for this recipe- the riper they are the sweeter these will be. You can add a small drizzle of chocolate should you wish too but this is unnecessary (though I find helpful when trying to entice toddlers if they are initially suspicious of the cookie!). If you need this to be gluten free ensure you use gluten-free oats.
