Quick Oat Cookies
ย
Nothing could be easier than making these Quick Oat Cookies without butter, flour or egg and they are very, very healthy too. While I was surfing on the net for an easy recipe, this “Two Ingredients Cookies” posted by Lauren of The Burlap Bag caught my attention. I was quite doubtful at first using only two main ingredients – Banana and Quick Oats’ and with combination of little amount of dried fruits to make them into cookies. Since I’ve all the ingredients except chocolate chips on my pantry, I just went ahead to make these cookies and ย within 15 minutes of baking my freshly baked healthy cookies were out of the oven. I let them rest for about 5 minutes and quickly grabbed one to try. The cookie was perfect to me as I really love the soft texture and chewy dried fruits inside. The sweetness of the cookie comes from the ripe banana. I made them into small bite size and they were almost gone within a day and these quick cookies definitely taste better the next day. Your kids will love them if little chocolate chips are added but remember not to add too many mix-ins as the cookies won’t hold together very well. These healthy cookies are great for snack or even for picnics.

Hi dear… i love all your recipes and always tried them at home. However today was my first to try your cookies recipe and i just did this one. Is the texture supposed to be chewy? How to make them crunchy, Ann? Oh and How long can I store it in a closed container as i want to keep it for baby's snack… Thanksss
Hi Dewi, This is a chewy type cookie as there is no flour, egg or butter used. Better store the cookie in the fridge due to the hot weather and banana cannot last for 2 days in room temperature.
I like recipes with less ingredients and simple method. I am eager to try this when I can work in my kitchen again.
Oh Ann, this is my kind of comfort food. Very heahlty and sound easy to make. Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing.
Wow this is a great one, Ann! ๐ No sugar or butter, and full of fiber, it's a healthy snack! ๐
WOW! Awesome cookies & only need 3 ingredients! I must show my boys this recipe as they love quick cookies! These cookies not only looks good but healthy too! YUM!
I love oat and banana cookies too. My version is bad….because I add chocolate chips and dried cranberries into them. LOL…but my kids love them for breakfast and after school snacks.

Amazing! Only two main ingredients for making this healthy cookies? Love it!
Hi Ann, does it work the same with instant oats or rolled oats you think?
Hi Janine, yes you can use instant oats or rolled oats even nestum.
Lovely cookies
Ann, I saw these on facebook and really must try them…of course it looks like it is too easy not to make them. Maybe I'll add a few sunflower and pumpkin seeds to it! Yum!
I decided to finally come back to the blogger-world now that I am off for the summer. It is hard going through each day without my parents, but I need to get back to doing things I love-they would be happy for me to. Thanks for all you do Ann. Lyndsey

Can i use nestum cereal (้บฆ็)? ๐
mui
Mui Mui, I used cooked oats and instant oats can be used too… think no problem to use nestum cereal since you're baking the cookies.
Ann, this is very unusual! Interesting indeed and I suppose these cookies can't keep for long, right? I must try it!
Yes but it really tastes better the next day.
Ann, this sound easy and healthy, I am gonna bake this since I am into chewy cookies recently lol. BTW can I use roll oats instead? thanks.
Jess, I think can use roll oats, afterall you're baking the cookies.
delicious cookies looks wonderful
this is amazing! would love to have a bite ๐
