Healthy Cookie Recipe: No Sugar, No Flour, Just Deliciou
Healthy No-Sugar, No-Flour CookieIngredients:– 2 ripe bananas (mashed)– 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if necessary)– 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)– 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or raisins (optional for sweetness)– Pinch of sea salt
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.– In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, using a fork or potato masher. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the cookies will be.
Add the oats, almond butter, vanilla extract, baking soda, and cinnamon (if using) to the mashed bananas. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.
If you're adding chocolate chips or raisins, fold them into the mixture. A pinch of sea salt can also be added for a hint of contrast.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon, as they won’t spread much during baking.
– Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The center should feel firm to the touch.– Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:– Texture variation: If you prefer a chewier texture, you can use quick oats instead of rolled oats.– Add-ins: Feel free to add nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra texture and nutrition.
– Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.These healthy cookies are naturally sweetened by bananas and packed with fiber and protein, making them a great option for a snack or even breakfast! Enjoy!
