    3  large, ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
    1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
    1/4 cup  coconut oil, barely warm - so it isn't solid (or alternately, olive oil)
    2 cups  rolled oats
    2/3 cup  almond meal
    1/3 cup  coconut, finely shredded & unsweetened
    1/2 teaspoon  cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon  fine grain sea salt
    1 teaspoon  baking powder
    6 - 7 ounces  chocolate chips
      dark chocolate bar chopped, alternative

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, racks in the top third.

In a large bowl combine the bananas, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Set aside. In another bowl whisk together the oats, almond meal, shredded coconut, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks/chips.The dough is a bit looser than a standard cookie dough, don't worry about it. Drop dollops of the dough, each about 2 teaspoons in size, an inch apart, onto a parchment (or Silpat) lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes. I baked these as long as possible without burning the bottoms and they were perfect - just shy of 15 minutes seems to be about right in my oven.

Makes about 3 dozen bite-sized cookies.
