I was intrigued because a) I always have brown bananas and oatmeal, and b) even if the kids ate half the batch, they're basically eating a bowl of oatmeal and a banana.
The problem is...the recipes I found didn't taste that good. Don't get me wrong! The kids loved them, which is amazing and weird. But for me, they didn't satisfy my sweet tooth.
So I tweaked the original recipe and created a little something that is still healthy and yummy and now a bit more delicious.
Still not a cookie, but a legit breakfast bar.
Two or Five Ingredient Cookies
2 bananas, mashed (mash them first, it really helps)
1 heaping cup oatmeal
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
Dash of cinnamon
Stop here or add...
Handful of chopped walnuts
Handful raisins
(To be honest, any nuts, chocolate chips or dried fruit would work here.)
1. Preheat your oven to 375
2. Mix all ingredients together in the order they're listed.
3. Bake for 15 minutes on a greased cookie sheet.
4. That's it! Guilt free, gluten free (with GF oatmeal), white sugar free, high fiber, low fat, low calorie, good for you cookies that don't taste half bad.

I will have to try that. I just got a recipe for peanut butter/energy balls that I want to try.
