Healthy Cookies!

These cookies are a MUST for me.

They are amazing pre or post workout, and even as a substitute for regular unhealthy cookies!

All that they include are:

Ingredients:

- 2 cups oats (blended or copped finely)
- 2 bananas
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 Tbs honey

Steps:

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Mash together with your hand until it creates a nice paste (wash your nasty hands first).
- Lightly grease a baking pan and spoon in paste (cookies can be whatever size that you like).
- You may form cookies into whatever shape or size that you like!
- Top cookies with something pretty (I like the taste of chopped nuts on top, or chocolate chips)!
- Bake cookies for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness and width.
- Let the cookies cool for a while before storing in a fridge (steam will make them soggy).
- Voila!


Some to-die-for variations on this recipe include replacing one of the bananas with a half cup of pumpkin puree (cheap at any grocery store). Also, adding a teaspoon of nutmeg with the cinnamon is yummy!

Next, I will be experimenting with peanut butter "cookies"! :)

More to come!

  1. Would it be morally wrong to put Nutella on these? Whenever I hear bananas I think of Nutella
