Description
These oatmeal cookies are a healthier alternative to the classic chocolate chip cookie. They can be totally sugar free if using sugar free syrup and sugar free chocolate chips, but you can also use honey (or maple syrup) and regular chocolate chips if that's what you desire. Or check out any of my other cookie recipes!

Ingredients
Serving(s)
  • 1 medium Banana, overripe
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Powdered peanut butter

  1. In a large bowl, mash your banana with the back of a fork, until smooth
  2. To the bowl, add your honey, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and powdered peanut butter. Mix with a silicone spatula until fully combined
  3. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips (minis preferred). Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes, so the oats can absorb the moisture
    1. Preheat your oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough onto the sheet, making 24 cookies of about 18 g each. Lightly wet your hands, and flatten into a round and thin cookie (they won't spread or rise as they bake)
    1. Bake at 350F for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges. Let them cool totally on the pan in the fridge
    Notes
    1. 1/2 cup (120 g) unsweetened applesauce, Roasted Sweet Potato Puree, or No Sugar Added Apple Spread will all work in place of mashed banana
    2. Any liquid sweetener will work, such as honey, maple syrup, or sugar free syrup
    3. Optionally, add 1/4 tsp butter extract
    4. Coconut flour or oat flour will work in place of powdered peanut butter
