Tasty little cookies with no added fat or sugar - these are so guilt-free, they can be eaten for breakfast. Adapted from theskinnyfork.com's Healthy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies.

Provided by MariaMiller

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 20m

Yield 30 cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup mashed bananas or 2 ripe bananas
1/3 cup peanut butter (natural if you have it)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Mash bananas with a fork and mix in peanut butter, apple sauce, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Stir in oats and coconut.
  • Drop by tablespoon onto a non stick cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick spray). I use a small cookie scooper.
  • Flatten a bit to shape the cookie (they don't rise or spread at all when baking).
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Allow to cool, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure the bananas are mashed until smooth, with no lumps. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
  • Use a combination of sugars: Using both brown sugar and granulated sugar will give your cookies a chewy texture and a rich flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them rise and set quickly, resulting in a chewy cookie.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: If you frost the cookies while they are still warm, the frosting will melt and run off.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter applesauce cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are looking for a snack, a dessert, or a gift, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
