Oatmeal Coconut Healthy 3 Ingredient Cookies

I hope everyone has had a wonderful beginning to the new year. I truly hope that this new year brings all of us success, happiness and joy. Many people during this time of the year make new years resolutions such as loosing weight etc. The recipe I will be show here will help to satisfy a sweet tooth without packing on the extra calories and fat.

Ingredients
2 bananas
1.5 cups of rolled oats
2-3 tablespoons of coconut flakes (unsweetened or sweetened, its up to you)

Method
Combine all ingredients with a fork/spoon or clean hands and form a soft dough. (if you feel that the cookie dough is too runny, feel free to add more rolled oats :)

Next, you can either use an ice cream scoop to make your cookies, or you can do what I did, I used two spoons to make my cookies. Place on a greased baking tray.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes

Carefully remove baking tray from the oven, wait till they are slightly cooled to serve!

TIME TO INDULGE!!!


TIPS!
***The banana and rolled oats is the basic part of this recipe. I chose to add coconut flakes this time but some other recommendations are peanut butter, walnuts, almonds, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds etc!! The possibilities here are ENDLESS, that's one can never get bored of the same old "healthy cookie"

***Adding 2-4 tablespoons of chocolate chips is also a great healthy alternative to chocolate chip cookies!!!***

***This is a great activity for kids and makes a great afternoon snack***

***This recipe can also be altered to be a "protein cookie", add a 1-2 tablespoons of protein powder and you are set!***
