I don't know about all of you, but I am addicted to Pinterest. I decided I am going to try 1 new recipe a week & blog about it. Today, I am baking the awesome "2" Ingredient Banana Cookies that I found here on The Burlap Bag. I got to it from Pinterest. You start with 2 bananas & 1 Cup Quick Oats. Easy Peasy. You can mix those 2 ingredients & bake or throw some add ins with it. I decided to add 1 small handful of chopped almonds, 1 small handful of pecans, 1 small handful of dried cranberries, 1 small handful white chocolate chips & 1/8tsp pumpkin pie spice. I wanted them full of flavor and something healthy, yet a bit a sweet. So easy to make. It only took me about 5 minutes to prepare everything. You grease your baking sheet, spoon out cookie mmix on pan & bake for 15min at 350*. Simple! Just mixing the cookie mix up it smelled so good!
They come out so nice and chewy. I love a soft cookie. I don't like the crunchy ones so this was perfect! The cookie held together nicely & taste great! Even the hubby said it was pretty good! (That is saying something)
Enjoy! Happy Baking & have fun with trying different add in. I'm thinking about trying some chocolate protein shake mix next time. :)
Go ahead and pour another cup of java and have a cookie!
Hey, Amy, I'm going to try this recipe! It may already be one that Dennis has discovered on Pinterest which he's been wanting me to make. If not, then I think he'll still like this. Oh, and last week I made a recipe for banana ice cream and bananas is the only ingredient. It's pretty amazing. BTW, do the bananas in this recipe need to be super ripened or will a regular ready-to-eat banana work as well?
ReplyDeleteThe bananas don't have to be really ripe. Just a regular ripened one works. I personally prefer mine really ripe, they tend to be sweeter. Good luck & enjoy the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI just finally got them made! I think they are really good (eaten 2 already), and Dennis thinks that it will be a good snack for him (or even breakfast, I think). No sugar, just the bananas and oatmeal. Thanks for sharing!! I will definitely make them again. I put some chopped walnuts in, some craisins, and a little cinnamon.
