Delicious banana-oatmeal cookies for a healthy snack!
If you are looking for a good way to use ripe bananas, this is a perfect snack to make! This cookies are not just super delicious, but also very healthy. They are completely sugar-free, oil-free and flour-free. We used oat flour instead of regular flour and they came out really great. There is no need to add any sweeteners, because banana and dates makee them really sweet. It also gives cookies the best flavour and the right amount of sweetness.
We really love bananas and always buy them too many. Luckily there are so many ways how to use ripe bananas, that are way sweeter than fresh ones. We like them in smoothies, desserts or to make ice cream. We just blend frozen bananas with some cacao powder and have a very delicious and healthy ice cream. You should definitely try it out!
These cookies are a perfect way to use your overripe bananas and make yourself some delicious cookies to enjoy. They are really soft, moist and delicious! They for sure won’t last long in your house, because they are just impossible to resist!
They are made with just 5 simple ingredients:
- ripe banana,
- 2 dates,
- almond butter (you can also switch it up for some other nut butter, like peanut butter, hazelnut butter or sunflower seed butter),

If you want, you can also add chocolate drops, like we did.
Healthy ingredients and amazing flavour, I’m sure this will become your new favourite cookie recipe! We are crazy about them.
