I donβt know about you but I just donβt trust packaged food for everyday consumption. It irks me each time I see my friend polishing off a packet of cookies at every meeting. So finally, after the numerous times I said “I should send you healthy cookies”…here is the result of that. (No doubt, I am doing this more for me, so I can concentrate at the meeting rather than gun down packaged food companies in my head π).
And for all those ardent readers of my blog, who tell me they love reading what I write and donβt get around to making it π… this cookie cannot get simpler. It takes only 5 mins to make and 15 mins to bake. Itβs not only healthier but also quicker than going to the store to buy it !
I would love to see the pictures of the version of what you make from my blog, please do post it to my sakethebake account on Facebook or Instagram @sakethebake
Enjoy baking… β₯οΈ
Ingredients :
2 medium sized over ripe bananas
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup deseeded dates diced
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tbsps coconut oil
1/8 tsp (or a good pinch ) salt
Method :
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. In a large bowl mash the bananas. Stir in oats, salt, cinnamon powder, dates and oil.
3. Mix well. Drop a tablespoon of dough onto an ungreased baking tray. Flatten them out into the desired size, keep in mind these cookies donβt spread out.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven until light brown on the edges.
Add a pinch of love β₯οΈ:
Depending on the occasion you are cooking for, add some minced walnuts, chocolate bits, use melted nutty brown butter instead of coconut oil to make a more decadent version of the cookie.
