Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 cups oats
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup raisins or nuts
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (e.g., Lily’s brand)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (177°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your cookies evenly.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and unsweetened applesauce. Stir until well mixed to create a naturally sweet base.
  3. Add Flavorings: Mix in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon until evenly distributed for an aromatic and flavorful dough.
  4. Incorporate Oats: Add the oats to the banana mixture and stir until fully combined, forming the bulk of the cookie texture.
  5. Add Almond Milk and Mix Ins: Pour in the almond milk to moisten the mixture. Then fold in the raisins or nuts along with dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly scattered throughout.
  6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cookies from sticking during baking.
  7. Form Cookies: Spoon out portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand to shape the cookies.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly golden around the edges.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve these healthy cookies as a sweet snack or dessert and enjoy their natural sweetness without any added sugar.

Notes

  • You can substitute raisins with chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds based on preference or dietary needs.
  • For a nut-free version, omit nuts and use seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead.
  • Using dark chocolate chunks with at least 70% cocoa will keep the sugar content low.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These cookies freeze well—freeze in a single layer and thaw before serving.
