Ever get a craving for fresh baked cookies? This quick and healthy recipe only uses four ingredients – which I bet you have on hand right now! Not a fan of chocolate? Simply substitute raisins, cherries, coconut or whatever mix-ins you like best.

Ingredients

• 1 large, ripe banana
• 85 g nut butter
• 105 g oats
• 37.5 g chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.

Mash banana in bowl. Combine nut butter, oats and chocolate chips with banana.

Scoop out 14-15 cookies onto a lined baking sheet. (if you skip the chocolate chips you will have fewer cookies)

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until firm.

Notes

Depending on the type of oats you use, sometimes the cookies are a little chewy. Simply put the cookies in a container with a lid when warm to allow the cookies to absorb the moisture. They will be less chewy within 30-60 minutes. If they last through the day, I typically store them in the refrigerator, so they don’t go off. After all, they are made of fruit!
