3-Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Let’s not mistake these healthy banana oat cookies for traditional cookies, these are best eaten right out of the oven! They are soft, chewy, and so delicious! You can think of banana nut bread as a cookie. They can be eaten for breakfast, snack, or dessert. I’ve also created variations of these banana oatmeal cookies, try these Chocolate Chip Healthy Oat Cookie, and my PB & J Healthy Oat Cookie.

These banana oatmeal cookies are best right out of the oven, they are chewy and soft – just how I like my cookies! These cookies can be made with just one ingredient, but I prefer walnuts and bananas. Walnuts are very nutritious. They provide good fat, protein fiber, and manganese.

Variations:

I’m always anxiously awaiting my bananas to get super ripe so I can make these cookies, which I have been making for years. I’ve made them with Chocolate Chips, and PB & J. You can also add almonds, raisins and cinnamon to them.

They are great for vegetarian and vegan diets, as well as egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free (use gf oatmeals).

Tips

• Bananas should be super ripe. We aren’t adding sugar to them.
• You can freeze any leftover cookies; cool them, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze. You can either thaw or heat them in the microwave for a few moments before you enjoy.
• You can use rolled oats in place of quick-outs.
• Look for labels that say gluten-free.
