    Oh wow, I was sure this was going to be one of those godawful recipes "with three ingredients only; a box of cookie mix, something, and something else". OP's recipe sounds fantastic!

    ROFL! I was expecting the same thing.

    I am soooo going to try this.

    To make them a bit more moist .....

    Add 1/4 of liquid to the oats & let it soak.
    While the oats are soaking, you can be mashing the bananas, get the other stuff together, preheat the oven etc.

    Maybe some almond milk, regular milk, or applesauce.
    any other ideas ?

    Just discovered a delicious recipe for Oatmeal Cookies using 3 ingredients AND THEY ARE GOOOOOOOD!!

    2 brown banana’s (Browner, the sweeter)
    1.5 cups of oatmeal (I like the original whole oats, but instant will work too)
    Dash of cinnamon

    Optional add ins: (Which I do)
    Handful of chopped walnuts
    Handful of Chocolate chips or Raisins/berries

    Mash the banana’s and oatmeal together so they are well mixed, add your goodies and bake on 350 F for 15 minutes. Excellent hot and cold! They should make a dozen and portion out the calories based on what you put in. I usually eat 1-2 about 15min before my workout in the morning and it's an excellent boost so that I'm not hungry during my cardio. :)

    Other natural easy yummy recipes out there?

    Edited--Oh, forgot to add, they are good right out of the oven, but they are also real good out of the fridge.

    Is there a reason for the cinnamon other than taste? I would love to surprise my bestie with these but she is allergic to cinnamon!

    These are amazing! I make different sized batches depending on how many bananas I have, and I do 1/3 cup dry uncooked oats per banana. I've never actually eaten them without adding at least one or two other ingredients. My faves are mini dark chocolate chips and sunflower seeds. They are not crunchy at all, more on the chewy side. And they don't rise or spread when they bake, so you need to shape and flatten them before. I used to make them 2 Tbs size and bake for 15 minutes, but it's easier to make 1/4 cup size and bake for 20 minutes. They refrigerate well and are good cold, which is good because they mold within a few days otherwise. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other mix in ideas I've seen here.

    We made these tonight with:

    1. 1.5 C instant oatmeal
    2. 2 ripe bananas
    3. 4 Tbs PB2 chocolate
    4. 2 packets truvia
    5. Cinnamon- few dashes

    We ended up with 9 as 12 were just too small. So by my calculations each cookie ended up being around 72 calories (around 650 for the batch).

    They are dry as someone else mentioned and not great--will have to modify the recipe a bit to get some additional moisture in there. Maybe some almond milk or apple sauce as others have mentioned.

    Still for the difference in calories from a regular cookie and the extra protein, it is worth the time investment.

    Just a taste preference. You can do Vanilla or Almond extract instead or something else, or nothing. :)

    These sound awesome :) Do they rise/flatten out at all? I"m guessing no because there is no baking powder/baking soda.
