3(ish) Ingredient Prebiotic Banana Oat Cookies
Not sure what to do with those overripe bananas you have lying around? Try this super easy recipe! These cookies have no added sugars and happen to be both vegan and gluten-free friendly, but you’d never know from the taste. Plus, they contain multiple sources of prebiotic fiber, to feed good gut bugs. While you really only need 3 core ingredients to make these cookies, I love adding different mix-ins for variations (see suggestions below).
Ingredients:
2 medium bananas, mashed
1 cup rolled oats
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
Cinnamon to taste
Mini dark chocolate chips to taste
Other optional mixins: nut butter, vanilla extract, dried fruit (i.e. raisins), chia seeds, cacao powder, cacao nibs, freeze dried coffee, nutmeg, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, oat bran, wheat germ, or any other ingredients you enjoy!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until well-combined.
Form into small balls (about 1.5 Tbsps of the mixture) and place onto a lined cookie sheet.
Bake for about 12-14 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes: these store best in the fridge.
