PREP TIME: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 10 Minutes

Servings: 12

A quick 3-ingredient cookie that is tasty, moist and ready to compliment breakfast or have as a mid-day snack

These recipes contain fat-free, nearly fat-free, and other ingredients that through trial and error I found do not aggravate my pancreas and cause pancreatitis flair-ups.
My primary concern is eliminating butter and oils and minimize egg consumption. If I can cook using a sugar substitute, then even better.

Dry Ingredients

2 Cups Uncooked Rolled Oats
2 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

2 Large Ripe Bananas (about 2 cups)

Alternatives

Replace the Cinnamon with Nutmeg for an exotic taste

Preparation

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl mash both Bananas into a puree mixture
Add Ground Cinnamon and mix thoroughly with a spoon
Mix in Rolled Oats, ½ cup at a time until fully integrated
Let mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow oats to absorb banana moisture

Use a potato masher to puree the bananas, easier on the wrists and easy to clean

Using your hands, form approximately 2-inch balls
Press down into your palms to create a cookie approximately ½ inch thick
Place on a non-stick baking sheet leaving ½ inch between the edges
- Makes 10 to 12 cookies

Bake on the middle rack at 350 degrees for 10 minutes
Use a spatula to remove from the baking sheet and let the cookies cool on a wire rack

Storage

Store in an air-tight container - I use a glassware container with a tight-fitting lid
Refrigerate the cookies to keep them moist and fresh testing

Baking Notes

Definitely let the mixture sit for 10 to 15 minutes to let the oats absorb the banana moisture.
