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 less ingredients too.These can perfectly serve as breakfast cookies or a yummy snack to school going kids.Oatmeal is rich in fiber and should be included in our daily diet.I don't like oatmeal 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
oatmeal 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.
