I made some scrumptious Banana Oat Cookies today so I thought I'd share the recipe! They are SO easy to make and they are great as a snack, after dinner dessert, or even an on-the-go breakfast if you are running out the door! These Banana Oat Cookies are loaded with fiber so not only are they tasty, they are healthy too! Here is the recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sliced dried apricot (any dried fruit can work!)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- add cinnamon (to taste)
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Mix mashed bananas, rolled oats, dried fruit, applesauce, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a large bowl
- Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes
- Scoop mixture into balls and press them down onto a cookie sheet greased with cooking spray
- Bake for 20 minutes
- Let cool for 5 minutes and ENJOY!
They came out great! I love cinnamon so I use it freely. You could also try some pumpkin spice or nutmeg to spruce them up a bit...Maybe even some mini chocolate chips! Next time, I'm going to try them with dried blueberries. YUM ;)
Yours in health,
