Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper with coconut oil. Set aside.
Peel, mash banana on a plate and measure the amount called by the recipe for precision. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
In a mixing bowl combine mashed bananas with almond milk, grated carrots, and vanilla extract if used.
Stir in oat flour, old-fashioned rolled oats, grated carrots, and baking powder. The batter will be wet, slightly runny, but not too liquid. Set aside for 2 minutes to give the oats time to absorb the moisture and batter to slightly thicken. If too liquid after that time, stir in more oat flour. 1-2 tablespoons should be enough.
Scoop a tablespoon of the cookie batter onto the cookie sheet and slightly flatten if desired. Leave half an inch between each cookie and form 12 cookies. The cookies won't expand much in the oven.
Bake the baby cookies for 9-12 minutes or until the cookies are dry on the side and set on top. Don't over-bake to keep the cookies soft and chewy - the best texture for babies.
Store up to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container or freeze in zip-lock bags and thaw for 3 hours at room temperature.
