Usually my healthy vegan hot chocolate will suffice, but today I needed that little something extra. These are super easy to make and I wanted to share the recipe. These are great to share with your kids as they are refined sugar free, super easy, and minimal ingredients. So you just need 1 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats, preferably organic (you can buy this super cheap in the bulk bins at whole foods). Then you need 2 ripe bananas, a bag of sugar free vegan Chocolate chips. I use and love Lily's brand as they are sweetened with Stevia. Then you can add 1/2-1 tsp of cinnamon, and for optional ingredients you can add chopped walnuts, or a bit of peanut butter. Mash up the banana in a separate bowl, and then add to the dry ingredients. You can use as much of the chocolate chips as you want. The recipe says 1/4 cup, but I usually add a bit more. Once all the dry ingredients are mixed together, throw in the mashed bananas and mix it up until all ingredients are incorporated.
On a non-stick cookie sheet, form the ingredients into cookies and then bake at 355 degrees for 15 minutes. They are best eaten warm, but they are still delicious once cooled as well and they keep well, however, they do NOT last long in my house. I usually eat them within 2 days of making them. Depending on how big you make the cookies the recipe makes 6-8 cookies. These are so yummy. The first time I made them I thought with how simple they were that they would be boring and it would be my first and last time making them, but I was very surprised!
So easy, so worth it! The next time you need a treat! Try this healthy alternative!
