Time 25m

Yield 24 Cookies, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 bananas, ripe
1/3 cup canola oil
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork until no longer lumpy. If bananas aren't very ripe, a hand mixer may be used. Stir in oil, oats, chocolate chips, and vanilla.
  • Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
  • For each cookie, spoon about 2 tablespoons of cookie mixture (or more depending on how big you want the cookie) onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • **IF batter seems a little dry, add a little milk to moisten.
  • Variations: Instead of chocolate chips add raisins or craisins. Chopped walnuts are great in these cookies. Or, try coconut oil instead of canola oil.

RIDICULOUSLY HEALTHY BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES



Ridiculously Healthy Banana Oatmeal Cookies image

In a bid to add to my seemingly-naughty-but-actually-very-healthy recipe collection, I invented these ridiculously healthy banana oatmeal cookies! They have no added sugar, no butter/marg and no flour in them and (considering this) taste rather magnificent if I do say so myself! I'll say it now - if you're NOT on a diet then you probably won't think so much of these. They are pretty yummy, but there are probably plenty of nicer recipes (ie. with butter and sugar) if you're not weight watching. I find these to be a really nice, healthy, filling treat though, and I hope you enjoy them too!

Time 30m

Yield 9 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ripe bananas
2 cups oats (not instant, the proper scotts type)
1/2 cup skim milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon low-fat peanut butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180c.
  • Mash the bananas and mix with the oats, milk and egg before adding the remaining ingredients (it just mixes a bit easier and more evenly this way). These measurements make the mixture just the right consistency for my liking, but if it looks a bit runny to you at this point, throw in another handful of oats to thicken it up.
  • Grease a cookie tray with 1 cal spray and spoon the mixture on to make around 9 large cookies.
  • Bake for around 20mins until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These ridiculously healthy banana oatmeal cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. They're made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are packed with flavor. Plus, they're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try!
