Are you in withdrawal from cutting out all the processed snack food in Mini Resolution May Part Two? Me too, man. Studies have found sugar to be as addictive as hard core drugs. It’s no surprise that when quitting Frankenfood we can feel classic withdrawal symptoms.
I present my healthyish banana chocolate chip cookies recipe to ease some of our sweet tooth fiending. While these cookies aren’t exactly Chips Ahoy, they have enough chocolate to pass as a treat. The ingredients are cheap and the added potassium gives these goodies a unique health imprint.
The Fewer Ingredients, The Better
These banana chocolate chip cookies contain only five ingredients: bananas, oat flour, chocolate chips, salt, and vanilla. No bliss point, preservatives, dyes, or artificial flavorings; with just a smidge of salt. The sweetness from the bananas and chocolate chips; no added white sugar!
These ingredients are cheap and likely already in your kitchen. Bananas are fun for little hands to mash up!
What’s Oat Flour?
It’s just quick oats (the kind in the canister) ground up in a blender. This recipe calls for two cups oat flour, which is about three cups of quick oats in the blender.
