Anyway, these cookies are perfect if you've ever had a request for some healthy sweets. They have only 6 ingredients plus whatever additional flavors you might want to add. Also, not all of them are really necessary.

For example, I added some extra flavors and some added pieces for texture but they're not necessary. They’re also quick and easy to make and great for taking on-the-go.

Healthy 6-Ingredient Oatmeal PB Banana Cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: about 12 cookies
Make these minimal ingredient cookies to enjoy as breakfast, snacktime, or anytime you want! They're healthy and so chewy!
Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 large or 3 medium overripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup plant-based milk
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
Optional extras:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks (dairy free)
1/4 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1/4 cup chopped dates
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) and line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking pads.
Combine the banana, milk, peanut butter, and any of the extra ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and stir together very well. Add the flax and oats and mix them in. Use a dough scooper or a large tablespoon to drop packed balls of the mixture onto your tray. They should be about 2 tablespoons each.
Flatten the cookies slightly and place the tray in the oven to bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges start to turn dark brown. Remove from oven and cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the tray. These are great while they're still warm, but they're also amazing chilled in the fridge to harden the chocolate (if using). Store them in an air-tight container for up to a week.

2 Thumbs up for you! Oatmeals are not only good for those who are in diet but also for babies and childrens.
Looks yummy! Ugh! It makes me hungry even more. How much is that all for that recipe?
It looks so delicious and very healthy too!
In truth it looks very different and strange, because I have never tried it, I would like to try it. Greetings and my regards.
