Haile Thomas is only 19 but has already graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a certified integrative nutrition health coach (at age 16) and launched a nonprofit, called HAPPY (healthy, active, positive, purposeful, youth). She was inspired to launch her health journey after her father developed type 2 diabetes and since then has begun working as a wellness and compassion activist and a vegan food and lifestyle content creator. Her first book, Living Lively, has 80 delicious, wholesome, super-powered plant-based recipes—including this one.

Help your body wind down in the evenings with these tasty and calming cookies. Have a cookie (or two!) a couple of hours before going to bed to get in all the natural melatonin (which helps to balance our sleep cycles) from almonds and cherries.

Knockout Nighttime Cookies

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup mashed banana (about 1 medium banana)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped raw walnuts
  • ½ cup dried cherries
  • ⅓ cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • ¼ cup flaxseeds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the banana, almond butter, coconut, walnuts, cherries, oats, flaxseeds, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger until thoroughly combined. The batter will be moist.
  3. For each cookie, roll 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, gently flattening the top with the palm of your hand. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden.
  4. Cool on a wire rack and grab a cookie! The cookies keep in an airtight container for up to one week.

  • Last week, I made Chocolate Hummus and I got SO much amazing feedback that I wanted to show you how you could use it as a handy finger food breakfast idea for your kids. These Breakfast Samosas are really good. Filled with my chocolate hummus, sliced banana and crushed seeds for extra goodness…all from @dunnesstores ☀️🍌

    You will want to save this one for later ❤️

    Prep time – 5 minutes
    Cook time – 5 minutes
    8 Mini Samosas and 2 Large

    4 Mini tortilla wraps
    1 large tortilla wrap

    5-6 tbsp Chocolate Hummus
    2 bananas sliced
    2 tbsp finely crushed seeds

    To serve
    Fresh strawberries
    Greek yogurt

    Cut the tortillas in half.

    For the mini tortillas spread about 2 tsps of chocolate hummus (the larger tortillas will use about 1 tbsp of hummus, then add 2 slices of banana the the corner and a sprinkle of nuts. Fold the rounded part up slightly, then fold the corner up and over and tuck in the remaining part into the opening.

    Heat on a pan until golden brown both sides.

    Serve with a side of Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries for extra protein which will keep you and your little ones full for longer.
