This is an easy 3 ingredient recipe that is quick and easy. It has no sugar or oil added.
Ingredients:
2 small bananas (apple bananas) or 1 large banana:
Bananas are a great source of dietary fiber, about 3 g per serving. They are rich in potassium (450 mg per serving), Vitamin B6, manganese, Vitamin C, magnesium, folate, Iron, Riboflavin, and Vitamin A. They are naturally cholesterol and fat free!
1 cup of rolled oats
What are rolled oats?
Oat groats are what is left after the outer husk has been removed from the bran-covered oat grains. Rolled oats are oat groats that have been de-husked, steamed and then rolled flat and lightly toasted. Rolled oats are also often the main ingredient in granola and muesli. Steel-cut oats are oat groats that have been chopped into smaller pieces before any steaming and retain bits of the bran layer. Raw oat groats are often further steam-treated to soften them for a quicker cooking time (quick oatmeal) and allow for a longer shelf life.
Oats have no cholesterol and have 5 g of fiber per serving! They are a good source of manganese, phosphorus, thiamin, selenium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and iron.
1/3 cup raisins
Raisins have no cholesterol (as with all plant matter). They are rich in potassium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, Vitamin B6, iron, magnesium, thiamin, and riboflavin. They have 3.7g fiber per serving.
Instructions:
Add all ingredients and stir. I have a kitchen aid mixer, which I love. It is a great investment if you like to bake, but it is not necessary, as all you need is a bowl and spoon to stir for this recipe. I like to use an ice cream scooper to scoop out the cookie dough. I like to use non-stick silicone baking mats. They are reusable and easy to wash. I put them on top of cookie sheets, or in this case I am using a pizza pan, since I did not have a cookie pan available. Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. After preheated, bake for 13-15 minutes. The batch makes about a dozen cookies. Enjoy!
