Another recipe in an attempt to use up random, leftover ingredients. These can be made with natural ingredients that provide nutrients and keep you full. These are the types of cookies I prefer, although they are perfectly accpetable for breakfast. Enjoy!

Steps

30 minutes

1

Preheat oven to 350°.
2

Mash bananas in bowl. Overripe bananas should mash easily with a fork.
3

Add the rest of the ingredients. Start with 1/2 cup oats, and if you find the mixture is too wet to hold a ball shape, if you prefer, add more oats. You may choose to process the oats for a smoother consistency cookie/ball (not pictured).
4

Drop mixture onto lightly greased or covered baking sheet. You may choose to flatten for cookies or keep in ball shape. It is recommended to smooth down any peaks that arise, as these may burn.
5

Bake cookies for approx 15 minutes, and balls for approx 20 minutes.
6

Let rest for 10 minutes and enjoy!
