Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup raisins or nuts
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (e.g., Lily’s brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and unsweetened applesauce. Stir them together until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Add Flavorings: Mix in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon until evenly incorporated into the wet mixture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the oats to the banana mixture and stir well until the oats are fully integrated.
  5. Incorporate Liquids and Add-ins: Pour almond milk into the mixture to moisten the oats. Fold in the raisins or nuts and dark chocolate chunks ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cookies from sticking during baking.
  7. Shape Cookies: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand to form cookie shapes.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies become firm and turn lightly golden on top.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on it for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve: Once cooled, enjoy these healthy, naturally sweetened cookies as a guilt-free snack or dessert.

Notes

  • These cookies are sugar-free and flourless, making them a great healthy alternative to traditional cookies.
  • Choose your favorite nuts or raisins as add-ins based on preference or dietary needs.
  • For a nut-free version, omit nuts and increase raisins or use seed alternatives.
  • Make sure bananas are very ripe for natural sweetness and better flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Using parchment paper helps avoid sticking and makes cleanup easier.
