3 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
2 large ripe bananas
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
C’est tout.
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mash the bananas in a medium-size bowl.
- Add in oats and walnuts and mix well.
- With a tablespoon, drop a spoonful on a cookie sheet/pan.
- Leave as is or form into a circle or even a bar and try different sizes.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Options:
Since you may be appealing to kids or other likes, you may wish to add some chocolate chips or raisins, some maple syrup for additional sweetness over the sweetness of the ripe banana, or less ripe bananas as some people do not like the strong flavour of banana. Banana and chocolate were my favourite popsicle flavours but I am learning that this is not the same for everyone.
Some people have asked if they could use frozen bananas. Yes, I have done so but I drain some of the juice, and/or you could add an additional 1/4 cup of oats.
No Nut Alternative
Spices are also a good add-on. I have made this recipe with cinnamon. One webpage had added vanilla but no walnuts.
You can see that you have options.
Different Sizes
I am sure that one of the Farmer’s market vendors uses a similar recipe but they are four times the size with a handful of other ingredients. It was similar in texture and banana taste.
Some of those additional ingredients included pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, and shredded carrot. I also use shredded coconut sometimes.
So what recipe did I use for the Nature Holiday, July 2021 – banana, oatmeal, walnuts, coconut, and cinnamon. Maybe a 1/4 cup of coconut because I did use recently frozen bananas and there was more liquid but I did throw out some of the liquid. Approximately 1/4 tsp of cinnamon.
These cookies are easy to make and very flexible with the ingredients you can use.
Happy creating and enjoy these simple 3 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies. #bananaoatmealcookies
