Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup Mashed Bananas, very ripe (about 3 bananas)
2 cups Whole Oats
1/2 cup Applesauce
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4-1/2 (total) cup Mix-ins of choice: Chopped Dates, Nuts, Chocolate Chips, Coconut, Dried Fruit, etc.
1/4 cup Maple Syrup or Dry Sweetener (Optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mash bananas well in a medium size mixing bowl. I use a bean masher.
  • Mix in applesauce.
  • Stir in oats and cinnamon. Add more oats if it appears too wet. This photo shows the consistency I like.
  • Add in your mix-ins of choice if desired, and optional sweetener.
  • Use a medium sized cookie scoop to form rounds onto a baking sheet fitted with a non stick liner.
  • Flatten rounds slightly with water dampened hand, to the thickness you like. (Getting your hand wet prevents the dough from sticking to your hand). These will not spread, so they will remain the same size.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes. They should be lightly brown. Cool on tray for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They are delicious warm or cold, especially with a tall glass of ice cold Almond Milk! Enjoy! :)

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be. You can also use frozen bananas for this recipe; just thaw them before using.
  • Use unsweetened applesauce. This will help keep your cookies from being too sweet. If you only have sweetened applesauce, you can use it, but you may need to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Just mix it until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven. You can chill the dough for up to 2 hours before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown. This will ensure that the cookies are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These banana applesauce cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are full of flavor and nutrients, and they are also easy to make. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
