I wanted to make cookies that was completely sweetened with fruit and had zero fake ingredients. A couple of years ago, I discovered a “cookie” recipe which had two ingredients: bananas and rolled oats, which is what this recipe is based on. Yummy, right?
- 2 medium medium bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 heaping cups of oat bran
- 2-3 heaping tablespoons of cacao powder (100%!!!!!)
- 2 tablespoons of almond milk (or other milk)
Optional mix-ins: cinnamon (a sprinkle), nutmeg (1/2 teaspoons), vanilla (1 to 2 teaspoons), almond butter, nuts, etc…
For this recipe, I decided to add cinnamon and nutmeg, since we’re heading into the holiday season. All you need to do is mix all of the ingredients together and then bake in a 350 F oven for 15 minutes. To be honest, since this doesn’t include flour or raw eggs, it can totally be eaten straight from the bowl!
This will make at least 18 bite sized cookies. For the season, I decided to make holiday-shaped cookies (plus a car shaped one, since my son loves vehicles of any kind!). I’ll be making more of these closer to Chanukah and Christmas, likely ones which will actually be decorated!
