I was inspired to make these cookies after seeing a similar recipe on The Burlap Bag that comprised of only two ingredients- banana and oats. The simplicity of these cookies seems to good to be true... not to mention as they only contain banana and oats they must be super healthy, so I tested out a batch.
They were indeed delicious, easy to make and so good for you! So I tweaked the recipe to make them a bit jazzier. These cookies aren't as healthy as the two ingredient version but they are still a lot healthier than regular cookies because they contain no butter, sugar, flour etc.
They are also easily adaptable so you can add in or take out whatever you want.
Ingredients
2 large banana's (or 4 small ones)
1 cup of oats (90g)
1 tsp cinnamon
25g of white chocolate
25g of dark chocolate
25g of raisins
25g of walnuts
Preheat your oven to 190°C.
Start by peeling the bananas and chopping them up into small-ish pieces.
Mash them up and add the oats and mash up even more, as much as you can. I used a potato masher for this.
Add the cinnamon.
Either add chocolate chips, or use regular chocolate and chop into fine pieces. Throw these into the bowl with the walnuts and raisins.
Divide the mixture into cookie sized amounts and place them on baking tray. I used our silicon baking tray which is great and makes cleaning up 10 times easier.
Bake for around 15-20 mins. It really depends on how you like the cookies, I prefer them to be crunchier on the outside and a bit gooey in the middle and 20 minutes is perfect for that!
And enjoy! We polished them off in about 2 hours and plan on experimenting further with different add-ins.
I want to try them with blueberries, pecans and m+m's!
A perfect snack for any time in the day and a great healthy recipe!
Let us know if you come up with any fabulous add-ins we need to try...
lots of love,
