Oatmeal Cookies (No Sugar & Butter) | Chewy Cookies

Elaborate cooking is worthwhile for many recipes, but some recipes are so simple yet very healthy and tasty too. This is a very simple chewy kinda cookie with oats and banana that  hardly requires any expertise to bake and with fewer ingredients too. These can perfectly serve as breakfast cookies or a yummy snack to school going kids.Oatmeal is rich in fibre and should be included in our daily diet. I don't like porridge and so try different ways to include this in my diet. There is no sugar added or butter in the recipe. Do try & enjoy !!



Ingredients
banana 2
rolled oats 1 1/4 cup
raisins /chocolate chips a handful
vanilla extract 1tsp
salt a pinch



Method
-Process the old-fashioned oats coarsely, or use quick oats. I used a combination  of both quick oats and  old-fashioned oats so skipped pulsing the oats.
-Mash the bananas using a fork until mashed. Add in the vanilla extract.


-Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F and then line a tray with parchment paper.
-Mix the oats with mashed bananas. Stir in the raisins or chocolate chips.
-Scoop a spoonful into the tray and gently shape the sides and top using the back of a spoon or spatula.
-Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes until it starts to leave the parchment paper.
- Cool on wire rack and serve for breakfast or as snack !!!



Servings~12 cookies 

NOTES
* You can add powdered sugar if its lesser than your desired sweet tooth.I haven't added sugar as I like it mildly sweet and the crunch of raisins makes it perfect.But for kids you should add a little sugar to please their sweet tooth.

@Sathya Priya Sathya priya,I had no left overs when I prepared these..however,it may not stay good more than 2 days if left outside,I feel.If you plan to make these in large batch..best option is refrigerate and whenever needed,take out & microwave for 10 sec.

This is beyond doubt the best cookie that man has ever invented- how can a combination of oats and raisins be otherwise? It puts any chocolate cookie to shame. And your cookies look beautifully chewy and perfectly made
