I’m always on the lookout for healthy versions of recipes. I’m not one to skimp on delicious treats, but healthy food means often I can eat more, and let’s face it, I love eating. This healthy cookie recipe totally delivers in the taste department compared to a lot of others I have tried that always seem to be lacking enough that they don’t really fulfill my craving (I may or may not have just eaten my fourth cookie as I’m writing this…) Beyond not having added fat and sugar, they also have healthy ingredients added in there so they are not just “not bad” for you, they are actually good for you. BONUS! Now whenever I have bananas that are a bit sad, this is my go-to treat! AND I don’t feel one bit guilty sharing these with my toddler or my husband who is trying to eat healthy.
Ingredients
4 over-ripe bananas
2 cups oatmeal
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1 egg
1-2 tablespoons flaxseed
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1/4 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mash bananas and mix with egg. Add in oatmeal, coconut, seeds, and wheat germ and stir until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Scoop onto a cookie sheet with a spoon and bake for 15 minutes.
