I am currently living down in the south of France as I am doing a French and Wine course! Our cooking facilities are not terribly fantastic so I haven't been able to do much baking, but I eventually got around to making some 'cookies' this afternoon. They are not your typical cookie, as they are healthy! I originally saw the recipe on Blogilates website but I wanted to make my own version using some chocolate chips.
They are ridiculously easy to make and only have around 50 calories per cookie (depending on what size you make them!). The other upside to these cookies are that there are only 3 ingredients needed- and they're the kind of ingredients that one always has lurking in the cupboard. They have a soft texture with a slightly crisp outside, and the chocolate chips are perfect with the banana flavour - give them a go!
Recipe: (makes 16)
- 1 cup of Oats
- 2 very ripe Bananas
- Good handful of Chocolate chips ( I used dark)
- Handful of Raisins (optional)
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 200c and line and grease a baking tray.
- Firstly mash the bananas until they are almost a liquid consistency. Then add the Oats, Chocolate chips and raisins if using.
- Mix throughly until combined and then using a spoon, dollop the mixture on to the making tray. Then bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, but keep an eye on them to check they dont burn around the edges. When ready they should have a golden top.
- Leave to cook and then enjoy with some tea for a healthy treat!
