Best Banana Apple Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipes

BANANA-OAT-APPLESAUCE COOKIES (OIL AND SUGAR FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mash bananas well in a medium size mixing bowl. I use a bean masher.
• Mix in applesauce.
• Stir in oats and cinnamon. Add more oats if it appears too wet. This photo shows the consistency I like.
• Add in your mix-ins of choice if desired, and optional sweetener.
• Use a medium sized cookie scoop to form rounds onto a baking sheet fitted with a non stick liner.
• Flatten rounds slightly with water dampened hand, to the thickness you like. (Getting your hand wet prevents the dough from sticking to your hand). These will not spread, so they will remain the same size.
• Bake in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes. They should be lightly brown. Cool on tray for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They are delicious warm or cold, especially with a tall glass of ice cold Almond Milk! Enjoy! :)
