PB & J Healthy Oatmeal Cookies
Description
PB & J Healthy Oatmeal Cookies are a wholesome take on classic flavors using mashed bananas, quick oats, peanut butter, and a minimal amount of jelly. The batter involves mixing ripe banana and peanut butter with oats, then spooning portions on a baking sheet. Baking at 350°F for about 15 minutes creates cookies with golden edges and a tender center. Adding a small dollop of reduced sugar jelly to each cookie after baking adds a subtle sweetness reminiscent of traditional PB&J sandwiches.
The natural sweetness from bananas reduces the need for added sugars, while the oats provide a hearty, chewy base. Chunky peanut butter adds texture and nuttiness to the cookies. These cookies are easy to prepare and suitable for those avoiding gluten if gluten-free oats are used. The jelly topping complements the peanut butter flavor without overwhelming the baked cookies.
These cookies can be enjoyed as a snack or a quick breakfast option and can be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Their soft yet slightly chewy texture makes them appealing for those looking for a less processed treat with familiar flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 banana mashed, medium ripe
- 1 cup quick oats uncooked
- 2 tbsp peanut butter I like the texture, chunky
- 4 teaspoons jelly reduced sugar
- *Use gluten free oats such as Bob's Red Mill quick oats to make them gluten free.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a non-stick cookie sheet with cooking spray or use a Silpat.
- Combine the mashed bananas and peanut butter in a medium bowl.
- Add the oats and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Place batter by tablespoons (little more than level) on the cookie sheet, making an indent with the back of the measuring spoon. Repeat until you have 16 cookies.
