In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and ground cloves.
In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, milk, coconut, oil and almond extract. Add in the two peeled bananas and smash into the wet ingredients until smooth.
Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until just combined. Now fold in the chips and optional walnuts.
