Weekend Bakes: Banana and Oat Cookies
Helping Baya baking some chocolate cakes at the weekend, I really wanted cake! I’ve been trying to eat clean and healthy, and I’ve been doing great lately [apart from when we were traveling!] Banana bread is one of my favourite things, but I’m trying not to eat so much wheat, so I figured I’d do a little experimenting and see what I could come up with!
The end result was really yummy. With just banana, peanut butter, honey and rolled oats, with a little added spice, they were easy to make and tasted pretty darn good too. Perfect guilt free snack with a cup of tea in the middle of the afternoon [or morning, evening or lunch!!]
[yumprint-recipe id=’6′]I’m thinking these would make a great base for a healthy cookie… you could leave out the cinnamon and ginger, add in chocolate chips and a little vanilla, or add dried fruit and ginger…. endless possibilities!

March 17, 2014 at 12:58I am absolutely making some of these! I too love banana bread, but I do tend to lack all self control while eating it and before I know it, half a loaf is gone in one sitting! But these cookies with tea sound fabulous.

September 15, 2014 at 21:09The peanut butter helps to bind it together, not sure how they’d hold up without it!
