Thanks to bananas, this sweet treat is a great source of potassium. Potassium helps with kidney, heart, and muscle function. Oats are a great source of fiber to keep you feeling full, and may help lower your risk for diabetes and improve your cholesterol.

Ingredients

  • Non-stick spray OR aluminum foil

  • 3 ripe bananas

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats OR rolled oats

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)



Preparation

  1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before you begin cooking.

  2. Preheat oven to 350˚ F.

  3. Mash bananas in a large bowl and stir in cinnamon, oats, and chocolate chips (if using).

  4. Measure out 2 tablespoons of dough and roll between your hands. Then, place the ball on the baking sheet and slightly flatten the top.

  5. Continue with the remaining dough--you should be able to make about 12 cookies.

  6. Bake for 12 minutes. Cookies will not visually brown, but are done cooking after 12 minutes.

  7. Remove cookies from oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving or storing.
