I came across this recipe not to long ago, and I remember asking my little one if I should make him some Monkey cookies (he loves bananas and monkeys eat Bananas so: Banana=Monkey). These are the most delicious oat cookies I’ve ever eaten and I'm not a big fan of Bananas, sorry I mean Monkeys myself!). I know cookies are never really considered healthy, but they are for sure lot healthier than normal cookies: they don’t have any added sugar, eggs or butter, and have very little flour.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2-1 cup natural chunky peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup (you could also use honey or apple sauce but Maple Syrup gives them a really oaky taste)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet work the best)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 170°C
- In a large bowl, mix bananas, vanilla, peanut butter and maple syrup into a creamy consistency.
- In another bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder and salt
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until they are well combined, Fold in the chocolate chips. Don't worry if the batter looks a bit runny.
- Place heaping teaspoon-sized balls of the batter onto a greased baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes
