People are so much more educated these days about how to eat healthily, and many have made significant changes to the food they eat as a result of that knowledge. These food changes are made to both foster a healthy body and to lose weight.
One thing that is always difficult for a diet or a diet change is curbing the need for sweets, like cookies. This simple recipe calls for an overripe banana, 1 cup rolled oats, and 1/4 cup of raisins, craisins, or walnuts. This last ingredient can be customized to suit your own particular cravings.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil or parchment paper. Lightly coat with cooking spray, olive or coconut oil to prevent cookies from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl, using your hands or a soft spatula.
- Scoop about a tablespoon or so of the mixture and roll into a small ball, flatten slightly to form a round cookie. Place cookie on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
