Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies- Healthified

I'm sure you have seen the 3 ingredient cookie recipe going around. Well, of course I had  to try it and then make it my own with all the things I love. And guess what? 

They are FANFREAKINGTASTIC!

Super moist, super healthy and super yummy. My kid loves them! My husband loves them! And I love them! Total hit!

My goal was to make something sweet and treat-like without adding ANY extra sugars. This was it! Look no further my friends. I did splurge on last batch and add Vegan Dark Chocolate chips. Which put them over the top!

Recipe makes about 1.5 dozen

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas mashed
• 1 1/4 cup gf instant oats
• 1/4 cups shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1 scoop or serving of vegan chocolate protein powder (I use Shakeology well, because it's the best!)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• *Optional-2 oz mini vegan chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)
• *Optional-2 tbs natural peanut butter

Directions:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mash bananas in large bowl. 
• Add oats, coconut, raisins, chocolate chips, protein powder and mix well. 
• Add coconut milk and any other options you desire like nuts, pb, or dried fruit. 
• *(The more ingredients you add, you may need to add more coconut milk.)
• Scoop 1 large TBS on silpat matt cookie sheet. 
• Bake at 350 for about 12-15 minutes. 

• Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes and DEVOUR!

Refrigerate left over cookies in an air tight container for the rest of the week. These are a great treat, snack or even a quick breakfast bite! 

ENJOY!

Oatmeal Banana Peanut Butter Cookies

Who doesn't LOVE cookies? 

Who doesn't love feeling guiltless when eating cookies? I needed to Mokshafy a recipe to keep me on track and to let my son eat cookies without all the sugar. We both have a major sweet tooth. It can put us in a sugary situation.

This recipe did just that. I won't feel bad sneaking one of these into his lunches for school, or eating one in the middle of the day. Healthy Cookies! For real!

INGREDIENTS
3 bananas, ripe
1⁄3cup Coconut oil
2.25 cups quick cooking oats
1⁄2cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tbs Honey
3 Heaping Tbs of peanut butter

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork until no longer lumpy. If bananas aren't very ripe, a hand mixer may be used. Stir in oil, oats, chocolate chips, peanut butter and vanilla.
Lightly grease a cookie sheet or use a silpat.
For each cookie, spoon about 2 tablespoons of cookie mixture (or I like to use an ice cream scooper) onto the cookie sheet. 

Bake for 16-20 minutes.
**IF batter seems a little dry, add dashes of milk to moisten.

You can omit the chocolate chips to make them even healthier and add cinnamon, raisins or chopped pecans! Omitting the peanut butter all together is also a delish version! I just happen to have a love affair with peanut butter.

Enjoy and stay healthy my friends!
