Easy Banana-Oat Cookies

3 min read

I am not a food blogger, but today I am sharing a favourite recipe of mine for some very easy, quick-to-make Banana-Oat Cookies.

Honestly, today was not the best day. We were meant to travel up North today to see some relatives and visit a good friend of mine. Because of a Covid case we had to adjust our plans (again – originally we had planned to go last week!) and were gonna go tomorrow instead. But this morning SJ woke up with a fever so I ended up cancelling my train. I was pretty sad!

Also, a day with a sick toddler is pretty exhausting. However, SJ and I made some cookies! We have a so-called “Montessori learning tower”, which basically is a stool with a railing, so that SJ can reach the kitchen side and help me cook. She takes a lot of interest in whatever I am doing and wants to help.

Making food together with her is a little bit more messy and takes longer. Despite this, I like involving her. It’s basically sensory play for her. She is a bit of a picky eater and I am hoping that preparing food might make her more willing to try new things and experiment.

And today we made these super easy Banana-Oat cookies. I often make them when I have some bananas that need using or when I want a sugar-free treat. Here’s the recipe!

Simple, healthy Banana-Oat Cookies

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas
1 cup of oats
3 Tbsp peanut butter
1 handful dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)

Method:

Peel bananas and mash them with a fork
Add oats and peanut butter and mix in evenly.
Fold in chocolate chips. If you want to keep the cookies sugar free, you can also omit the chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon, form about 18-20 cookies and place on a baking tray, lined with baking paper.
Bake at 150 degrees on the fan setting for arount 12-15 minutes. You want the cookies to brown slightly. Put on a plate to cool.

Enjoy! They are lovely with a cup of coffee.
