no butter, no flour cookie recipe-only 74 cals!

gegardner · December 2010

I just ran across this cookie recipe and they tasted great! I was looking for a recipe that was slightly sweet and would trick me into thinking i'm having a sweet snack when i'm really just having breakfast. With only five ingredients that you're sure to have on hand, give it a try!
3 medium ripe bananas
2c. rolled oats
1c. raisins, or other chopped, dried fruit
1/3c. oil
1t. vanilla

Mash bananas, add other ingredients, mix well. Can add some salt to taste. Let sit for 15 minutes. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 24 cookies, 74 calories each.

This sounds amazing, thanks for sharing! But a caution....I put this in the recipe calorie counter and depending on the brand of oats you use the calories jump as high as 96 but not lower than 87. I could not get it to work out to 74 calories/cookie.

Thanks! Just got a bunch of ripe bananas and have been looking for dessert recipes below 80 calories. I'm gonna try to replace oil w/ applesauce.. or do half and half.

I have a silly question, as I don't know much about baking... but from other recipes and threads, I've heard that you can sometimes replace oil with applesauce... does anyone think that would work with this particular recipe? If I can't substitute the full 1/3c of oil, maybe half that amount with the applesauce?

Thanks!

Love and Alohas,
