Apple Banana Oatmeal Cookies: A Simple, No-Sugar Added Treat

Here’s a simple and healthy cookie recipe using just oatmeal, apples, and a banana, with no need for added flour or sugar:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 ripe apples
  • 1 ripe banana

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the fruits: Peel the apples and remove the cores. Mash the banana in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Grate the apples using a box grater or food processor, then add them to the mashed banana.
  4. Mix in the oats: Add the rolled oats to the bowl with the mashed banana and grated apples. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together; if it’s too wet, add a bit more oats.
  5. Shape the cookies: Using a spoon, scoop out the dough and form it into cookie shapes on the prepared baking sheet. You can also use your hands to flatten them into your desired thickness.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The exact time might vary depending on your oven and how thick you make your cookies.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. They are best enjoyed while fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.

These cookies are not only easy to make but also naturally sweet and full of fiber, making them a perfect healthy treat. Enjoy your baking!
