    These are so awesome. I found them on Pinterest or something the other day and made them today.

    2 old bananas
    1 cup quick or old fashioned oats

    Seriously. That's it. Just mash the bananas and mix in the oats. It's okay if there are still some small chunks of bananas. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

    You can also add things like chocolate chips, walnuts, raisins, etc. The website I saw it on said not to add too many things though because they won't stay together as well.

    So these are absolutely wonderful. Even if you eat all the cookies in one sitting (which uh... I did today... and also had doubled the recipe :ohwell: ) you're just eating two bananas and oats! It can't really get any healthier!

    Also, I think if you add walnuts, these would be a delicious post-workout snack or even a great breakfast!

    i just made them.
    this is what mine looked like:
    twoingredientcookie1-1.jpg
    i used: 1 banana, 1/2 C. quick oats (& added 1/8 C. raisins)
    i refrigerated dough for an hour before baking.
    i baked them on parchment paper ( but i think they wouldve baked cleanly without it)
    yielded 4 soft and chewy cookies as shown.

    num, raisins. thanks

    Made them last night.

    Didn't cook properly in 15 minutes, but I think I may have made the cookies a bit too thick. Put them on baking paper but they still stuck. I turned them over at 10 minutes but they needed another 5 and a bit more minutes after the 15.

    Tasted good though, and will make again

    Does anyone grease the paper or tray to stop them sticking?

    Oh should have read this! Exactly this! They cooked for well over 30 mins but still not solid! I greased the paper and they still stuck!

    I wonder about the banana? They come in small to really big - so I imagine size matters in this as well.

    I just made these with frozen bananas, and added nothing. They are just ok, and a little....rubbery. The texture doesn't bother me, tho'. Next time I will add a little stevia and some real vanilla....ooohhh, or maybe coconut extract. Thanks for sharing.

    I made a half batch and added a dash of cinnamon and a bit of sugarfree vanilla syrup. They made 12 little cookies which did stick to the parchment a little but I didn't have much trouble emoving them with a thin metal spatula. They turned out tasty! I ate the whole batch hot from the oven without a trace of guilt.
