Healthy Banana Oatmeal Chip Cookies: Flour-Free, Keto-Friendly, & Plain Old Good

Auntie Jess's specialty treat is loaded with character and natural goodness.

Equipment

  • 2 Cookie Sheets
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Ice Cream Scooper and 1 Spoon, or 2 Spoons
  • 1 Masher Tool or 1 Fork
  • 1 Cookie Plate or Lidded Container

Ingredients
  

Base

  • 4 Bananas
  • 2-3 Cups Quick Oats This measurement isn't exact. I tend to keep mixing in oats until the consistency looks right. You want the mashed banana to be pretty loaded with oats, but at a level that the mixture won't be dry and the cookie will hold together.

Fixings

  • 1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter
  • 1/3 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips Same note for fixings - not exact; add as you please!
  • 1/3 Cup Vanilla Chips
  • 1/3 Cup Butterscotch Chips
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Pecans
  • 1 Dash Apple Pie Spice or Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In large mixing bowl, mash bananas until you've reached minimal clumps.
  • Mix in oats, stiring and adding more oats as needed.
  • Add in fixings and stir until combined into batter.
  • Spray cookie sheet with canola oil spray.
  • Use ice cream scoop for optimal cookie shape, or use spoon to form small / medium size spheres in raws on cookie sheet. Leave some wiggle room in between each cookie.
  • Place in oven for 20-25 minutes. Keep a close eye on them at 20 minutes - don't over-bake!
  • Remove cookies when ready, and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • Transfer to cookie plate and serve, or store in lidded container to keep fresh and soft for days!
