I ran across this website on a friend's facebook page, and I couldn't wait to give it a try! And I already had the ingredients, so I couldn't use that as an excuse not to bake right? So I got to baking straight away.
The recipe truly calls for TWO main ingredients - bananas and oats. And then you can add in whatever mix ins you want. Sounds easy right? Well, it sure was! All I needed was a bowl and the main ingredients and I was able to mash it up with my hands. I didn't even use a spoon!
I got the main recipe from The Burlap Bag, and then I added my mix-ins - semi sweet chocolate chips, cinnamon, and almonds. The second time I made them I added in dark chocolate chunks, almonds, walnuts, cinnamon, and vanilla. I think I liked the second batch better!
First batch ingredients - minus the cinnamon
Ingredients
- 2 large bananas (can be a few days old for easier mashing)
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- mix-ins of your choice
Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes on a greased cookie sheet or you can use parchment paper. Truly DON'T forget the grease/parchment paper. I did on the second batch and I set off the smoke alarm...twice.
I diced the almonds and combined the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Pre-mixing.
And then I mixed it all up with my hands - that was the fun part! Post-mixing.
Either grease the pan or use parchment paper - I opted for the parchment paper. Pre-cooking.
Post-cooking - this is the second batch. Don't those chocolate chunks look delicious.
With my first batch, I made about 10 cookies, and those cookies didn't last long in our house.
So I doubled the recipe the second time around. We will see how long those last us!
Happy baking!
