3 Ingredients

You will need:

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup old fashioned oats (not instant oats)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

Optional Mix-Ins

If you don't like cinnamon, you can swap it out for your favorite mix-in. As long as you use the bananas and oatmeal, you can add in any extras you want. While cinnamon is my favorite add-in, are some other ideas:

• ¼ cup peanut butter
• ¼ cup Nutella
• ¼ cup chocolate chips
• ¼ cup shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• Brown sugar, to taste

Equipment

Because this is a small recipe for only 8 cookies, it's a great candidate to make in your toaster oven! (If you have a large toaster oven). Of course, you can also bake in the oven as usual, especially if you're doubling the recipe.

Instructions

First, start off by peeling two bananas. The riper your bananas are, the better!

Mash the two bananas until mostly smooth. Depending on your preference, you can leave it a little chunky. You should end up with about ¾ cups of mashed banana.

Next, add in the oatmeal and cinnamon.

Mix until the batter is well blended.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray. Divide the mixture into 8 even portions (about 2 tablespoons each) and place the cookies at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should be soft but slightly golden around the edges.

How to Serve

These versatile cookies can be served as breakfast cookies (much like a granola bar), a healthy dessert, or a light snack. They are really quick to make whenever you need a quick sweet snack!

How to Double the Recipe

This recipe only makes 8 cookies, so you may want to double it if you're feeding a crowd. To double the recipe, use:

• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 cups old fashioned oats (not instant oats)
• 2 tsps ground cinnamon

How to Store

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3 days. However, they are best when fresh because the banana will start to brown slightly over time.

Calories & Serving Size

A serving size is one cookie (⅛ of the recipe). Each cookie has only 66 calories! You can enjoy several of these healthy cookies guilt-free!

Adding a mix-in such as chocolate chips or peanut butter will increase the calorie count, but they will still be much lower in calories than a standard cookie.
