Description
These simple cookies are made with just mashed banana and rolled oats. They can be easily customized by switching out the banana for unsweetened applesauce, pumpkin puree, or really anything you can think of. Or feel free to fold in whatever mix-ins you like, such as chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts. Or check out any of my other cookie recipes!

Notes
- Some other great options instead of banana are
- Unsweetened Applesauce
- Apple Butter
- Pumpkin Puree
- Sweet Potato Puree
- Butternut Squash Puree
- Berry Jam
- Below is a batch I made with homemade blackberry jam (left) and applesauce (right)
- You can also add any other flavors if you like. A dash of cinnamon or vanilla would be great, or you can fold in some mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts
