2 ingredient cookies

I literally just finished making these because I had some banana's going bad but didn't have everything on hand for banana bread.

Simply 2 smashed over-ripe bananas to 1 cup of quick oatmeal. I used honey nut oatmeal because that's what was in my pantry. You will want to be your own judge on the consistency, as long as it's thick enough to roughly keep it's shape when you put it on the cookie sheet. Spoon it on your cookie sheet, about a tablespoon per cookie. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.

These have more the consistency of a chewy granola bar, rather than a cookie but they're yummy, and could even sub in as a quick grab-n-go breakfast in a pinch.

I wanted to add it to the recipe database but it doesn't accept anything with less than three ingredients.

    ooh yum! Did you calculate about how many calories per cookie?

    I have made these before and they remind me more of banana bread than a cookie. I did like them though and now am thinking of making these tonight. I have made them plain and I have made them with chocolate chips added into the cookies.

    I like these and have made them a few times before, but I always add chocolate chips and cocoa powder to mine. They'd also be good with peanut butter chips or dried berries. :smile:

    My unsolicited review:

    1. Cooking spray on the cookie sheet is a MUST.
    2. The banana made the oats stick to my teeth. It felt like cement.
    3. My 6 year old said, "This is not a cookie." But he ate 3.

    Bottom line: If you don't have the calorie budget for real cookies and you're dying for a sweet treat, these aren't bad. I won't make them again, but I can see how some people would like them.

    Wait, though. I wonder if I added an egg and fried them on the griddle like pancakes... ? And topped them with vanilla yogurt... ? Do I have bacon... Hmm...

    This recipe pops up a lot. I tried it a few years ago and I just gagged. The texture was just like you described it and the taste was sort of what I'd imagine some dog biscuits would taste like.

    Let us know how it turns out with the egg and frying it on the griddle and topped with yogurt and a side of bacon. :flowerforyou:
