Banana Oatmeal Snack Cookies
These small-sized cookies stuffed with good-for-you elements and are simple to make with your kids’ hands. Kids can scale, stir and spread cookies from beginning to end. Test with other mixes like almonds, cashews or raisins. Healthful banana bread breakfast cookie was made with banana and oats. Super manageable and simple to customize with add-ins, you’ll enjoy these as a natural, low-cal go-to for morning-meal or a bite.
These cookies are not the same as the usual oatmeal cookies. They are very crispy on the surface with a soft, chewy core. The oats provide the chewy feeling, and the type of oats you select will affect the overall taste. I prefer the quality of rolled or quick oats, I notice the oat flour a little sticky, but some kids may favour the softer texture.
I was clearing out the cupboard to remove odds and ends, and we had a pile of uneven, ripe bananas remaining silently on the counter. I apparently should have dropped them and returned with a purpose to my cases and tape, but why do something as un-fun as gathering when you can cook healthy banana cookies alternatively?
Plus, if I baked Banana Oatmeal Cookies, that also meant that I would apply up the last of our pack of oatmeal. One less part to squeeze into a case!
As if that were not motivation enough to run and make a batch of Banana Oatmeal Cookies right then and there, my pyroclastic-bake mind got up with a different idea.
If I liked a few cookies covered with a smear of nut butter to form a substitute as Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies? I’d decrease our amount of cupboard things to transport even further!
Fine. These cookies wanted to proceed quickly.
