Three-Ingredient Oatmeal Cookie
Prep Time: 5 minutes Bake Time: 12 minutes Yield: 8-12 cookies**
Ingredients:
1 cup of oats (I use Old Fashioned Rolled Oats)
2 ripe bananas
1/4 cup flavor(s) of your choice: chocolate chips*, coconut flakes, any nut butter, dried cranberries, etc
* If you are dairy-free, I recommend Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips, which are allergy-friendly.
1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Mash up bananas and combine with oats and flavors. Mix well.
(I like to combine chocolate chips and coconut flakes (1/4 cup each), so they are technically four-ingredient cookies, but that's just because I like the extra flavor. I have noticed cranberries do not stick really well with the banana-oat "batter" so adding a nut butter or chocolate with cranberries would help.)
3. Scoop up a heaping tablespoon's worth of batter onto cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
**I typically make 8-12 cookies, depending on how large the cookie is, as well as how big my bananas were, and whether I add extra flavors.
4. Bake for 12 minutes. Check bottom for any burning. I like to turn off the oven at this point and then flip the cookies and let them rest in the oven for an additional two minutes so that the top can have a bit of browning. This makes the cookies a bit more crispy and keeps them together better.
These cookies refrigerate well and can even be frozen. Let me know if you try out this incredibly easy cookie recipe! I am not a baker, but these are pretty fool proof, even for me!
