This is what I call “Facebook made me do it” – meaning one
of those recipes that bounce around on Facebook was posted on my Facebook
timeline. After walking thru the kitchen I noticed I had some slightly ripened
bananas soooo it was a perfect opportunity to whip up a quick batch of cookies.
The recipe is interesting because it includes no sugar, no
dairy and no oil. I admit, when I
recreated the recipe I used skim milk in place of the almond milk since I did
not have a container in the refrigerator at the time.
I made 18 pretty decent sized cookies and they were 2 points
plus a piece. Not bad at all! These were also a hit … they tasted reminiscent
of banana bread (of course, different texture, etc.)
Here’s the recipe I followed:
3 mashed ripe bananas
1/3 cup apple sauce (I used natural unsweetened)
2 cups oats
¼ cup almond milk (I substituted with skim milk)
½ cup raisins (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
