Quick Banana Oatmeal Cookies
1 small overripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 Tablespoons chocolate chips (or butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, chopped nuts, raisins, etc.)
Preheat oven to 350◦F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the banana, oats, and cinnamon. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, until firm.
This has got to be one of the quickest and easiest cookie recipes out there - only four ingredients! These cookies are a healthier option as well - no added fat or sugars. Of course, they are much healthier if you use nuts or raisins and not chocolate, but a little chocolate does a lot of good! This makes a really small batch, only eight cookies - perfect for one to two people, but you can easily scale up the recipe.
