I tried the banana, oat, chocolate chip today, easy and delicious! I did not have plain oatmeal, only the flavored instant packets(cinnamon and brown sugar this time) and they turned out great, a little more sugar than I like but plan on having the plain on hand for the future.
For some, the idea of baking can be all too daunting. Between needing a fancy mixer, a slew of ingredients, and a bit of finesse, the idea of conquering a cake or baking a pie can seem a little much. But what if you could take the majority of that out of the equation and produce cookies in just minutes with only a few ingredients?
Cookies are one of the simplest baked goods to master, and there are recipes to make the process even easier. With just three ingredients, it’s amazing what you can accomplish.
3-ingredient banana oat cookies
The beautiful thing about cookies is that they walk a fine line between dessert, snack, and breakfast. Really, depending on their ingredients you can make them totally suitable for breakfast, and that’s exactly what these three-ingredient banana oat cookies can be classified as.
And luckily, if you need breakfast in a pinch, they’re easy as can be. All you need to pull these off is bananas, oats, and chocolate chips. Bananas work in this recipe to add flavor to the cookies, but it also acts as the glue that holds them together. Often, you’re able to replace eggs in a recipe with bananas because of the similar texture, and that works perfectly here.
Mash two ripe bananas, add in 1-½ cups of oats and stir them together. Once the mixture forms a dough, add in chocolate chips. Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form balls of dough, place them on a baking sheet, and bake your breakfast cookies at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. The edges will be a light golden brown once they’re ready to pull out of the oven and let cool before serving.
