- 3 super-ripe bananas
- 1 c. unsweetened applesauce
- 1.5 c. old fashioned oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 c. Craisins
Preheat oven to 350.
Mush the bananas up good and mix them in with the applesauce. Dump in the oats and cinnamon and mix well. Then add in the Craisins and mix until the dough looks relatively even.
Drop the dough onto a cookie sheet in large spoonfuls. (I made fairly large cookies--the dough divided into 12 individual cookies.) Bake for 35 minutes.
I really liked these and so did my mama. Tastes like a bowl of fruit oatmeal, but you don't need a bowl. Husband doesn't like bananas much, so these were a "no go" for him. I'm looking for a replacement mushy fruit to make him some healthy cookies, too (it won't work with just the applesauce... in fact, that was pretty nasty.) At only about 1 WW points per cookie, these are great on-the-go breakfast treats.
Variations:
- Chocolate Chip Pecan. Instead of cinnamon and craisins, try adding 1/3 c. of mini chocolate chips and 1/3 c. of pecans. Boosts the WW points to 2 per cookie, but totally tastes like real dessert!
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. 2 bananas mashed up, ~1/3 c. peanut-butter (made with PB2). Mix well. Add 2/3 c. unsweetened applesauce and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix well. Add 1 1/2 c. oats, 1/4 c. nuts, and 1/4 c. mini chocolate chips. Mix well and let dough rest for 10 minutes. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. BEST VERSION SO FAR. 2 P+ per cookie. Taste best while still warm.
