Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Healthy Banana Oatmeal Cookies that are made with just 2 ingredients in one bowl, super simple and easy to customize with add-ins, you’ll love these as an super easy (and delicious), low-cal grab-and-go for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 3 medium bananas
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.
- Using the back of a fork, mash bananas in a medium bowl until they are broken down. Add in oats and gently stir until all of the oats and bananas are mixed together and look like a thick cookie batter.
- Now add the chocolate chips and nuts, stir until they are just mixed throughout.
- Scoop one heaping tablespoon of the dough into your hands and form into a cookie.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes or until set through and lightly golden. Cool and enjoy!
Notes
- Cookies can be frozen up to 2 months, then thawed overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
- The riper the banana, the sweeter it is, the easier it is to mash, and the more sweetness it adds to the bread.
- These cookies will not spread in the oven, so be sure to form them into a cookie before placing on baking sheet.
- Don’t be afraid to add more oats if you find the batter to be too thin- This is often due to the amount of mashed banana used.
- Definitely add some chocolate chips or your favorite nuts, for a little fun. I prefer using mini chocolate chips, as they spread evenly, but standard sized chocolate chips work well too.
