- Overripe bananas
- Oatmeal (quick or old-fashioned)
- Chocolate chips or chopped-up chocolate bars
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the peeled bananas to a large mixing bowl, and mash thoroughly.
- Add the oatmeal and mix well. Quantity varies because banana sizes vary. As long as I feel enough oats cover the banana mush, it's good.
- Add the chocolate chips, and mix to combine. Again, quantity varies because the mush varies. I add enough when Math Teacher says enough.
- Take a handful of the mush, and roll it into a ball. Then, squash it down into a cookie shape between hands, and place it onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mush.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
These got a bouncy texture so they don't really feel like cookies. It fills me up, though; a couple a day is enough. Very healthy, nutritious, and most importantly, delicious!
I like them a little bit burnt. So after 15 minutes, I would turn the heat up and add few more minutes.
