These healthy, guilt-free cookies are packed with natural sweetness from ripe bananas and apple sauce, without any added sugars or flour! With oats, raisins or nuts, and dark chocolate chunks, they make for the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth in a wholesome way.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 mashed bananas (ripe)
  • 1/3 cup apple sauce
  • 2 cups oats
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup raisins or nuts
  • 1 cup good dark chocolate chunks (Lily’s brand is my fave)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (177°C).
  • Prepare the Wet Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and apple sauce. Stir them together until they are well mixed.
  • Add Flavorings
    To the banana and apple sauce mixture, add the vanilla extract and cinnamon. Mix these in thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
  • Incorporate the Oats
    Add the oats to the bowl. Stir them into the mixture until they are fully incorporated.
  • Mix in Milk and Add-Ins
    Pour the almond milk into the mixture to help moisten the oats. Then, add your choice of raisins, nuts, and dark chocolate chunks. Stir the mixture well to ensure that the add-ins are evenly distributed throughout.
  • Prepare the Baking Sheet
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  • Form the Cookies
    Spoon out portions of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can use a spoon or a cookie scoop to make uniform cookies. Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of the spoon or your hand, as they will not spread much during baking.
  • Bake the Cookies
    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 15–20 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly golden.
  • Cool the Cookies
    Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy
    Once cooled, your healthy cookies are ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

  • These cookies are a great alternative to traditional sugary treats.
  • You can use other add-ins like dried fruit or seeds for added variety.
  • The cookies are soft and chewy, so make sure to let them cool completely before transferring them.
