Cherry Coconut Pecan Cookies

Cherry Coconut Pecan Cookies

These were FANTASTIC! In hindsight, I would probably use craisins or dried blueberries or even raisins, instead of they cherries. My son would eat the whole cookie and leave a stack of dried cherries on his plate! Otherwise, perfection!

Ingredients:
 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (you can get these in gluten free!)
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tbsp golden flaxmeal
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cups coarsly chopped pecans
1/2 cup dried cherries (cranberries, blueberries, raisins)
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup coconut oil (I actually used 2 tbsp butter because I didn't have any coconut oil on hand)
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine oats, coconut flakes, flaxmeal, salt, pecans and dried fruit.

 3. Stir in bananas, oil/butter, honey and vanilla until well combined.

 4. Form 2 tbsp of the mixture into a ball and press it flat to a greased baking sheet. You may have to do a little finessing to keep them round and pretty!

5. Bake for about 25 minutes, then cool on the pan.
6. EAT!
