Kadecia’s Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Cookies

These delicious oatmeal banana breakfast cookies were made by one of our members, Kadecia. They are really tasty and make a great, healthy snack for children and adults alike. If you have a blender or food processor these only take a few minutes to prepare. Make the recipe your own by choosing whether to add raisins or chocolate chips or extras of your choice.

Ingredients

• 2 large bananas mashed (riper the better)
• 2 cups of oats
• You can add your favourite ingredients such as chocolate chips or vanilla extract etc.
• My optional extras were:
• 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Blend oats, using a blender/food processor or good old fashioned pestle and mortar.
3. Add the banana mash and oats in a mixing bowl and mix until it becomes a well combined smooth dough.
4. If mixture is looking too dry, add a splash of your favourite milk.
5. Using a tablespoon of mixture, roll into a ball using your hands and flatten into cookie shapes.
6. Place onto greased baking sheet and bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Leave to cool on a rack.
8. Cookies will keep in an airtight container. They can also be refrigerated, frozen and reheated.
