I love cookies!
Last week I had a craving for cookies but I didn’t want all the calories that go with it. I suddenly recalled the pancake recipe I made last May. I used the foundation of that recipe to experiment with this healthy, low calorie, gluten free, oatmeal and banana cookie.
The ingredients are few, healthy, and simple!
Gluten Free Oatmeal Banana Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 F
- Mash bananas in a bowl.
- Add oatmeal, flax seed, vanilla, and chocolate chips.
- Mix well.
- Scoop by the tablespoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 16 minutes (or until brown on bottom of cookies).
- Cool on a rack.
* These aren’t your granny’s crispy oatmeal cookies, they are very soft on the inside and have a strong banana flavour.
* I ran this recipe through the MyNetDiary fitness app. The nutritional breakdown (per cookie) is as follows:

Those sound yummy!
Hi Jennifer! These sure do look good! (I have an oat allergy, so they are not for me.) How wonderful of you to post the nutritional info too. I am trying to get better at paying attention to those numbers.
Happy Weekend!
