Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are naturally sweeter and will help to bind the cookies together.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Simply stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies to 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. Bake them until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These ugly cherry oatmeal no-bake cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for on-the-go. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. Plus, they are a great way to use up ripe bananas. So next time you have some overripe bananas, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
