If you are looking for a simple cookie recipe, this is it. This Banana Oatmeal Cookies Recipe can be made with as little as two ingredients. No, that isn’t a typo – two ingredients! You don’t have to add oil or butter to make these easy cookies making these cookies so much healthier than typical cookie recipes! The base of these Banana Oatmeal Cookies are fresh, ripe bananas and quick oats! And, if you eat gluten free, you can very easily make these cookies gluten free! Just make sure you use Gluten Free Quick Oats!
Once you have your base for your cookies, you can either make your cookies, or you can add in mix-ins! The mix-ins can be any ingredients you enjoy in cookies. White or regular chocolate chips, dried fruit and/or coconut would make excellent fillers! (See the recipe below for the ingredients in my pictured cookies!)
To start, mash you ripe bananas with the oats. (recipe is below)
Add the mix-ins you are interested in (recipe is below)
Place spoonfuls of cookie dough on a greased cookie sheet (recipe is below)

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
What a Great Recipe to make with young children – fun & nutritious!
