Nutritional values
Oatmeal and bananas are ideal for cognitive function, thanks to their mineral mix of potassium, magnesium and iron.
There are numerous variants of these cookies: you can replace the almonds with other nuts of your choice, the cocoa nips with cocoa powder, and the bananas can be replaced with sugar-free apple sauce.

Preparation steps
preheated oven to 200 °C/400 °F (convection 180 °C/375 °F). In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix flour with baking powder, sugar and 1 pinch of salt. Add butter in pieces and mix. Peel the bananas, mash them with a fork and add them to the bowl together with the egg and mix well. Fold in oat flakes, almonds, and half of the chocolate chips.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon to drop the dough onto the baking sheet leaving enough space between the cookies. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and bake for 10-15 minutes. Then let it cool down on a cooling rack.
