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” a couple of weeks ago I was ready to branch out into the fabulous world of skinny cookies. These banana oatmeal skinny cookies taste absolutely amazing and you can add anything you want to customize them-who knew cookies could actually be healthy?
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
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and generously spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray. In a large bowl mash bananas together with oats until a thick dough is formed. Add in any additional ingredients you want.
I used dark chocolate chips and PB2 because we all know that chocolate and peanut butter are about my favorite things!! You could also season with cinnamon, apple pieces, coconut, raisins, your imagination is the limit! Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes. Makes 24 small cookies.

Loved these healthy cookies. I’ve made them twice but i used craisins instead of chips second time around and used them as a quick on the go breakfast. I find storing them in the fridge for up to 3 days tastes as good as the day i made them.

Can you use over ripe bananas also?
Yes, they work just fine!
I’m not much of a baker so was very glad when I found this recipe. It was very easy to make. I baked for 17 mins. Taste like chocolate banana bread nice and chewy.

I’m so glad you liked them!
Very easy to make. First batch we baked for 15 mins were just a bit underdone so the second tray we baked for 17 mins and came out with a better consistency. This may he our oven. Overall quick, tasty and much healthier cookie.
