I had some left over bananas that I didn't use in the banana bread yesterday that I really wanted to use before the weekend. I remember coming across a recipe where you mix ripe bananas and rolled oats....I couldn't remember exactly and was too lazy to look it up so I just went with it and they ended up turning out! I like these because they are healthy (no butter or added sugar, well besides the few chocolate chips I added to the top of some them haha) but they have the texture of a cookie and will satisfy my never ending craving for sweets!
2 over ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup applesauce
2 cups rolled oats
2 TBL honey
Chocolate chips (optional)
Mix all ingredients together and spoon into a muffin tin, bake at 350 for 8-10 and allow to cool before removing/eating.
You can spoon these onto a cookie sheet too if you prefer smaller "bites". These are perfect to grab for on the go breakfast or to eat after dinner without ruining your diet :) I added some chocolate chips to mine but in the past I've added other yummy toppers like dried cranberries, nuts, extra peanut butter, butterscotch chips...the possibilities are endless! Enjoy :)
