Easy 3 Ingredient Banana Bread Cookies
Every morning I think of new healthy food options for my family. Lately, I have been trying to come up with new homemade breakfast ideas like my 2 Ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes or Banana Oatmeal Pancakes. This time I wanted to make soft cookies using quick oats, bananas for sweetness, and a little coconut oil. They came out perfect for breakfast or a snack. They have soft banana bread texture in the shape of a cookie.
I have two kids and they are always asking for snacks. My five year old comes home from preschool hungry and dinner is not going to be served until later on. I need to have healthy snacks available all the time. I am always trying to offer them homemade treats that are free of refined sugars and artificial ingredients.

Banana Bread Cookies Are So Easy To Make
This super healthy recipe took 5 minutes to prepare and about 12 minutes in the oven for delicious and sweet cookies my kids really loved. I also added a tablespoon of coconut oil and boosted the nutritional value. Ripe bananas,quick oats
, and a good quality organic coconut oil 
. That’s it! 3 super healthy ingredients made a super wonderful treat.
I also love this Easy 3 Ingredient Banana Bread Cookies recipe because it is not messy at all. All you need to do is mash the ripe bananas and mix with the oats and coconut oil in a bowl. You form your cookies with your hands and won’t need a cutter or mold either. Make sure you bake them on top of parchment paper
with a little oil or ghee
so they won’t stick.
If you are busy but have about 5 minutes to prepare a healthy treat, then this Banana Bread Cookies Recipe is a must try. You will be surprised to know that with only 3 simple ingredients you can make cookies. Do you love nuts? Try adding 1/4 chopped walnuts if you like too. This recipe will make about 10 delicious Easy 3 Ingredient Banana Bread Cookies.

Hi, I really haven’t tried the recipe with another cooking oil so I won’t be able to tell you for sure. I think butter or olive oil will work fine too. Hope this helps.
