BANOOKIES (BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES)

July 13, 2015 by Carisa

Healthy Banana Cookies from Messes to Memories

I’ve been missing my cookies lately. Seriously! Sometimes I just need a good cookie.

Now I’m not going to say that these cookies will replace my favorite cookies of all time… The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!! I have yet to find a cookie that compares to these cookies.

Yum! These cookies are so unique and healthy too!

However, these cookies are pretty darn good!

And if you take into consideration the health factor, they are a great alternative for when you are trying to make extra good decisions. Like we are right now…

Banana Oatmeal Cookies from Messes to Memories

We are on week 5 of 8 for our health challenge and we are being so good. Both Scott and I have made a lot of progress and are feeling a lot healthier. Of course there is still room for improvement.

These reminded me of the classic oatmeal cookie that you make and dip in a glass of nice cold milk. Mmmm. Mm.

The cool thing about these is that they only take about 5 minutes to throw together and 6 minutes to bake. So if you are having a little sweet tooth you can have them ready in less than 15 minutes.

    These actually look way good! Your pictures are making my mouth water! We (theoretically) are trying to eat better, and this makes me actually want to do it! Thanks for sharing!

      I have found that eating healthy is great when it comes to everyday eating… but when it comes to sweets and reducing sugar, it is definitely an acquired taste. I’m definitely craving some good old cheesecake!
