Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (5 Ingredients)
Description
The recipe combines mashed ripe bananas, almond butter, and maple syrup as the wet base, into which rolled oats and raisins are folded. This mixture is scooped and flattened on a baking sheet, then baked at 350°F for about 12 to 15 minutes. The lack of added flour or eggs results in a naturally sweet, soft cookie with a chewy texture from the oats and bursts of sweetness from the raisins.
These cookies offer a gentle sweetness balanced by the nuttiness of almond butter and the fruitiness of bananas and raisins. Their soft texture with lightly golden edges provides a pleasant chew without crispness. These can serve as a convenient snack or a quick breakfast item.
Allowing the cookies to rest after baking helps them set and improves texture. The straightforward ingredient list supports quick preparation and suitability for those avoiding refined sugar or eggs.
Ingredients
- 2 banana very ripe, large
- 2/3 cup almond butter unsweetened
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2/3 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork until creamy.
- Add in almond butter and maple syrup. Stir to combine together.
- Add rolled oats and raisins. Stir to combine.
- Line a baking sheet. Scoop cookies that are about 1.5 tablespoons in size. Shape them with a spoon on the baking sheet, flattening the top lightly because they will not spread.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!
