2 ingredient cookies

I saw these on Pinterest (I'm trying to get through a lot of the recipes I've pinned) and thought why not.  I had a couple of very ripe bananas that nobody will eat, and like the recipe says, they're pretty healthy.  Even if you eat half the batch, you've only had 1 banana, 1/2 c. oats, and whatever mix-ins you put in (I put pecans in half the batch and pecans and chocolate chips in the other).


Mash up 2 bananas with 1 c. quick oats.  If you think it's too runny, add more oats.  That's it!  Cook at 350 for 15 min. on a greased cookie sheet (she said to make sure it's greased or you'll be scrubbing forever).  If you want add ins, you can put in a handful of whatever you want.  

The texture is obviously quite a bit different.  You can still see some of the banana chunks in the picture.  It wasn't bad, just different.  Crunchy, chewy and soft all at the same time, but a much healthier way to use my bananas, and much easier/faster to make!  I'm not a huge fan of chocolate and bananas, so the ones without the chips I liked better.  There was also a recipe for an autumn cookie where you use pumpkin puree instead of the bananas.
