Oatmeal Banana Cookies
Hey beautiful people, today I made simple Oatmeal Banana cookies using only two main ingredients plus a little razzle dazzle.
Ingredients:
Two ripe bananas
One cup of uncooked oatmeal
Cinnamon**
Nutmeg**
Vanilla Extract**
One sheet of parchment paper
Cookie sheet
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Start by mashing bananas to a texture that is almost liquefied, but not quite liquefied. Ultimately, you don’t want any banana chunks in your banana mixture. I used a masher and a hand blender (you can check it out on my YouTube video for details). Once banana mixture is prepared, slowly stir in oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. You want this mixture to be firm enough to form cookies, if it’s too soft (too much liquid), add one tablespoon of oats until you get the right texture, but I don’t think you will need to.
Once the mixture is ready you can start to form your cookies, the cookie shape will not change while baking, so form your cookies into the desired shape before baking. I made mine approximately 2 inches in diameter.
Place cookies on parchment paper about one inch apart.
Bake for 17 minutes.
Makes approximately eight cookies.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.
If you want an extra dose of deliciousness add a little Reddi-whip on top of your cookie.
I think the next time I make them I will add walnuts, yummmmmm.
**I'm not good with these measurements. I eyeball it, but you don't want to put too much. I cook from the soul so whatever feels best. Maybe one tablespoon of each.
