Healthy Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 mashed bananas (ripe)
• 1/3 cup apple sauce
• 2 cups oats
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup raisins or nuts
• 1 cup good dark chocolate chunks (Lily’s brand is my fave)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Set your oven to preheat at 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and apple sauce. Stir them together until they are well mixed.
3. To the banana and apple sauce mixture, add the vanilla and cinnamon. Mix these in thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
4. Add the oats to the bowl. Stir them into the mixture until they are fully incorporated.
5. Pour the almond milk into the mixture to moisten the oats. Then add your choice of raisins, nuts, and dark chocolate chunks. Stir the mixture well to ensure that the add-ins are evenly distributed throughout.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cookies from sticking.
7. Spoon out portions of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can use a spoon or a cookie scoop to make uniform cookies. Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of the spoon or your hand, as they will not spread much during baking.
8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly golden.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, your healthy cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
