What's in your fruit bowl? Bananas.

While on pinterest this morning, trying to help plan my brother's wedding, I got sidetracked to the food section. I cannot lie, this always happens.

In a recent health kick, with the future of a wedding in my family happening, I am constantly on the hunt for healthy sweet treats. Many I just press "pin it" full well knowing I will not go back later and try it. But,  this one particular recipe stuck out to me, and I just knew I HAD to try it. Having recently gone grocery shopping, I had all of the ingredients on hand!

It has two ingredients, bananas and oatmeal. I know, it can't be true. Well, my friends, it is true. Here is the final product...

They are as delicious as they look.

Here's what you need:
- 2 bananas
- quick oats
- anything sweet!


It's as simple as 1, 2, 3. Not even kidding.

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take a good size mixing bowl, add the two bananas into the bowl, and then add 1 cup of quick oats. Mix until the bananas are well "smushed" and the oatmeal is mixed in. I then chose to add in chocolate chips as my something sweet!  You can choose to add anything such as nuts or dried fruit (I'm going to try it again next time!).

Check out those banana chunks.

Once the everything is well mixed (see above), portion out the cookies onto a well greased baking sheet. I chose to make smaller cookies, allowing for a total of 18 cookies. If "normal sized" cookies were to be made, just about a dozen cookies would have been made.

Look delicious even BEFORE being cooked!

Once placed on the cookie sheets at any size you so choose, place the cookie sheets into the oven that is now heated to 350 degrees. Let bake for 15 minutes. I kept an eye on them and looked for the edges to brown, just like a normal chocolate chip cookie.

Per my math, I figured that each cookie is only 30 calories. Yes, 30 calories.

Enjoy!
