This is a healthier version of the no-bake cookies we all know and love. Lots of cocoa, more oatmeal (we use regular instead of the quick-cook kind for even more oaty texture), and less sugar and butter make us feel a little less guilty for indulging!

Tips:

  • To ensure your cookies are chewy and not too dry, use a ripe banana and mash it well. This will help bind the ingredients together.

  • If you want a more indulgent cookie, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate or sprinkle them with sea salt.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
