Healthy Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Description
The cookie dough consists of mashed ripe bananas combined thoroughly with uncooked quick oats and crushed walnuts. Spoonfuls of the mixture are baked at 350°F for about 15 minutes, producing tender cookies that hold their shape yet remain soft. The natural sweetness of banana replaces refined sugars, while the oats contribute a hearty base and the walnuts provide texture and a nutty flavor.
These cookies can be made as a healthier alternative to traditional cookies, fitting well as a portable snack or a light treat. They freeze well when wrapped tightly after cooling, allowing for convenient storage and thawing as needed. Using gluten-free oats makes this recipe suitable for gluten intolerance.
