Chewie Chews

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe, mashed bananas
• 1 3/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup almost slivers
• 1/2 Tbsp chia seeds
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup

Additional Items Needed:

• Oven
• Microwave
• 2 medium bowls (microwave-safe)
• Parchment paper
• 1 rubber spatula
• Circle cookie cutter
• Baking/cookie sheet
• 1 piping bag

Directions: Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Mash 2 ripe bananas, and place in bowl.

Step 3: Add in your oats, nuts, and chia seeds, and maple syrup folding it in with the bananas to combine.

Step 4: Spread on a large piece of parchment paper flat with a rubber spatula, and place it on a cookie sheet. Bake for 3 minutes.

Step 5: Remove the parchment paper from the pan, and using a circular cookie cutter, cut cookies into circles.

Step 6: While your cookies are cooling, cut mini marshmallows into fourths to make Chewbacca's belt.

Step 7: Melt 1/4 cup of semi-sweet dark chocolate chips by combining them in a bowl with 1 tsp of coconut oil.

Step 8: Place them in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir to melt, or stir and heat on low and on stovetop until melted.

Step 9: Pour melted chocolate in a piping bag.

Step 10: Using the piping bag, squeeze 3 chocolate drops to create the eyes and nose. Squeeze a curved line across the cookie to create Chewbacca's mouth. Connect the mouth to the nose with a vertical line of chocolate.

Step 11: With slightly strong pressure, squeeze a stream of chocolate from the piping bag diagonally to create the belt.

Note: Stream of chocolate will be thick as more pressure is applied.
