Not only are these cookies super easy and quick to make, they're also suitable for breakfast, mid-day snack, afternoon snack and as a pudding, and they're near enough guilt free!

| they even resemble proper cookies! |
- 1 ripe banana
- just over 1/4 cup of oats ( or just add until it resembles images below in method)
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- the filling/flavouring of your choice, I went for 4 different ones
- raisins
- cinnamon
- walnuts
- honey
Method:
- Preheat your oven to around 180c, peel, slice and mash your banana
- Add the oats, I measured around 1/4-1/2 cup per banana- although if you don't have cup measurements, just add by eye, no need for weighing with this recipe! Then mix with the mashed banana until it looks like below.
- Then I add around 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, because they need the extra flavour boost, otherwise they only taste of an oddly textured banana...
- For the sake of this post I divided my mix into 4 to show 4 different variations. On each quarter is a different flavour, either walnuts, honey, cinnamon or raisins- take your pick of which bit to go for, or choose your own! Chocolate chips, dried cranberries or fresh blueberries would work perfectly.
- I then rolled each section into a cookie shape and placed onto a baking tray, this recipe makes around 4 medium sized cookies- so perfect for 4, or 1 very hungry person!
- Place into your preheated oven and bake for around 10 minutes, I like my cookies really gooey and just about cooked, so if you prefer a firmir, harder one then leave in for around 15-20 minutes. All that's left now is to tidy up:(
- Now just enjoy your cookies, I had mine with a green tea (who loves my mug??) and series five of sex and the city!
