Some folks would say that these 5 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies are ‘healthy’ cookies.
I like to say that they appear to be healthier than the average cookie.
5 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies
This is the kind of a cookie that mom’s like to make for their kids.
At least, when my kids were younger, this is the kind of a cookie that I would make for them. I mean, you can not really go wrong with something that has banana and oatmeal in it. In addition to the banana and oatmeal, this is also called a ‘cookie’ which is something most kids seem to like.
This is also a cookie that some kids may think is fun to make.
I suppose that I should rephrase that last sentence. This is a great cookie to make with your kids (or some kids..) when you are looking for a good cookie recipe for adult-child baking time.
I like that this recipe has only five ingredients.
Also, when I say five ingredients, I mean five ingredients that are relatively healthy and few people will have reactions with. Although, I must confess that one of my kids was allergic to bananas when he was a toddler. Bananas are essential in this recipe as this recipe calls for no eggs and thus, the banana will be what binds the other ingredients together.
You will need to use mashed bananas in this recipe.
To mash your bananas you can use a potato masher or one of these banana mashers that I have found online. This recipe also calls for honey. However, in this recipe you can use a sugar free honey like this one.
This is a different kind of a recipe than the normal cookie recipe that I usually post here.
I also have a 3 ingredient sugar free peanut butter cookie recipe, a peanut butter, oatmeal and chocolate chip yogurt bark recipe as well as a homemade banana chip recipe that you may be interested in.
