Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter you want the natural occurring oils in the peanut butter, look for one that just has peanuts in the ingredients list
  • 1/3 cup pecans
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries I like to use unsweetened but sweetened works as well
  • 1/3 cup sugar free chocolate chips I like to use Lily's
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 and line baking sheet with parchment paper or use a SilPat on it
  • In a large mixing bowl mash your bananas until almost smooth. Then pour in your honey, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Fold until well combined.
  • Then pour in oats, and cinnamon. Fold until throughly combined. Then fold in your cranberries, pecans and chocolate chips.
  • You will fold until all the ingredients are well combined, then you will take a 1/4 measuring cup and scoop out batter and form into a cookie shape. It WILL be sticky on your hands, don't worry. So just do your best to shape them in a circle cookie shape on the baking sheet
  • Then place in oven for 16 to 20 minutes. In my oven it takes 20 minutes till the bottoms are nice & golden brown. Every oven is different. They will be start to get golden brown on the top and golden brown on the bottom. If you use a spatula and the bottoms are still sticking to the the parchment or Silpat place in 1 more minute at a time.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes and enjoy! Store in air tight container or plate with aluminum foil over it for 3 to 5 days on counter, 7 days in the fridge.

Notes

*** I use sugar free chocolate chips-- so the sugar from this recipe comes from natural sweetener the honey & bananas.
