Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned oats (gluten free if you have an intolerance)
1 banana, mashed
1/4 cup pumpkin puree or apple butter
1 cup nut or seed butter of choice (peanut butter, almond, cashew or sun butter work)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon chia or hemp seeds
1/2 cup dried raisins or cherries
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup milk or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Place all of the ingredients in a standing mixer or in a bowl to beat with a hand mixer and mix until throughly combined.
Refrigerate dough for 30-60 minutes.
Using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop place mixture on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet and use your palm to gently press into 1 inch thick circles.
Bake cookies for 18-20 minutes or until starting to turn golden. Cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes and then transfer to rack to cool completely.

Notes

Flatten the Cookies: These cookies aren't going to spread in the oven. Make sure to flatten them out with your palm to shape them into cookies.

Storing the Cookies: Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. They also freeze well if you want to save them for later.

Chocolate Chip Toppings: This is more of a note for aesthetic purposes, but save a few chocolate chips to place on top of the cookies so they each have a beautiful display of chocolatey goodness on top.
