3 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies

These delicious Banana Oatmeal cookies are a 3 ingredient, low calorie cookie you can make in under 30 minutes.

It’s been a few weeks now that I’ve been eating “clean” and I have to tell you-I feel great! For the most part my sweet tooth has been under control but I’m not going to lie-I still need my chocolate fix every now and then!

After making my chocolate banana skinny “ice cream” and caramelized bananas a couple of weeks ago I was ready to branch out into the fabulous world of low calorie cookies.  These banana oatmeal cookies taste absolutely amazing and you can add anything you want to customize them-who knew cookies could actually be healthy?

Why I love this recipe

• can be breakfast, snack, or dessert
• low calorie
• gluten free
• healthy carbs and sweet banana make this a filling snack

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas
• 1.5 cups quick oats
• add ins of your choice-I used ½ cup dark chocolate chips and 4 tbsp PB2

Step by step

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and generously spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray. 
2. In a large bowl mash bananas together with oats until a thick dough is formed.
3. Add in any additional ingredients you want (like chocolate chips!)
4. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
5. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes.

Tips for best results

• use over ripe fresh bananas, the more brown speckles on your banana, the better!
• do not use bananas that have been frozen previously
• these cookies don’t spread so make the spoonfuls the size you want the cookie to be
• the cooking time is for 24 small tablespoon-ish sized cookies, larger cookies may need a few extra minutes of baking time
• this is a great recipe to freeze for meal prep-store in a freezer bag up to 3 months

Variations & add ins

• 4 tablespoons of PB2 for a peanut butter version
• ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
• diced apples
• shredded coconut
• raisins
• sliced almonds
• dried cranberries
