I found a recipe on pinterest (of course) for healthy breakfast cookies. I thought these would be great for when I'm running out the door at the last minute in the morning. The best thing is there are only five ingredients.
You will need:
*1 1/2 cups oats
*1 cup of unsweetened applesauce (I used 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet b/c it's what I had)
* 1/2 cup of craisins
*3 ripe bananas
*cinnamon
The recipe says that if your bananas aren't ripe that you can expedite the process by baking them on a cookie sheet, in their skins, for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. I tried this and starting hearing weird noises after about 6 minutes so I took them out, but I do think it was working.
I think the reason the bananas need to be ripe is b/c they will mush up easier and be a binding agent. I took my bananas out of their skins and put them in the blender and mixed them up so they were mush, then added them to the recipe.
Now that your bananas are ready mix everything together.
The recipe did not specify to grease your cookie sheet so I didn't. I think it would be better to grease the sheet because my cookies stuck pretty bad.
Drop your cookies onto a greased cookie sheet. (I was able to get 16). Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Yields: approx. 16 cookies
Calories: 70 calories for one cookie (less if use all unsweetened applesauce)
