Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies | Banana Oatmeal Cookies | Gluten Free

I have a sweet tooth, and it’s not easily satisfied with healthier desserts. I’m working on that.

These banana oatmeal cookies are helping.

Luckily, I stumbled upon a recipe for these cookies, tweaked it a little, and love the outcome! My banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are made with bananas, but the taste isn’t too banana-y, and the sweetness level is perfect.

Ingredients for Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 mashed bananas, ripe

1C quick cook oats or rolled oats, it didn’t seem to matter which I used. Use gluten free oats if needed.

2t cinnamon

1t vanilla

1.4t sea salt

1/4C dark chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325

Mash the bananas with a fork. I tried to do them with my mixer, but they didn’t get as mushy as I wanted. The fork works well.

Add everything but the chocolate chips to the bowl and mix for 1 minute.

Add chocolate chips and stir by hand.

Drop large spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet, you should get about 8 cookies per batch.

Cook for 18-22 minutes. It’s not easy to tell when they’re done because they’re so dark. I poke them and see if they fall apart. If the start to come apart, give them a few more minutes.

Remove and cool, store in the fridge.

This counts as a yellow container treat swap. 2 cookies = one yellow container.

For Weight Watchers these cookies are 3 points each if you make 8 per batch. If you make them smaller you can adjust accordingly! The entire batch is 25 Smart Points!
