Healthy Banana Cookies


Recipe Description
These make a really good, healthy treat! They are a cross between cookies and granola bars. My kids love them as a treat, I'm not going to tell them that they are pretty healthy!​
Preparation Steps:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mash bananas.​
Level of Difficulty:
Easy​
Time Needed:
30 minutes​
Ingredients:
3 bananas, mashed
2 cups uncooked oatmeal
1/3 cup applesauce​
Serves:
36 cookies​
Directions:
In medium bowl, stir together mashed bananas, oatmeal, applesauce and if desired, a spash of vanilla. Mix well, let sit for 15 minutes. Drop by spoonful onto greased cookies sheet. They will not spread like flour cookies, so I pushed them flat with a fork (much like you do with peanut butter cookies). Bake for 20 minutes.

You can also add dried fruit, for different tastes!

Interesting recipe! My kids love banana muffins, but this is a great twist on what to do with my leftover bananas!!!

These sound great! I've had a few bananas lounging around the freezer and didn't want to make banana bread again, these are going to be a welcome change. :)

I had a chance to make these over the weekend. I used up frozen banana's and added in choc chips and dried cranberries. The cookies turned out like mini banana bread softness/essence with chewy oatmeal. Delish!

DF didnt seem to like them warm - ie like the warm banana bread however I stored them in the fridge and now they're chewy & dense.

I made these teaspoon sized dollups so they were bite size. I am able to have 3 cookies though its the equivalent of one. Kinda guiltless :)
