Hi Bold Bakers!
Sometimes, being Bold means keeping things super simple. My 3 Ingredient Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is just that: simple and easy to make! They only take about 10 minutes to whip up, and another 15 minutes to bake.
These banana oatmeal cookies are made of 3 wholesome ingredients that you most likely have lying around the house, and most importantly they taste AMAZING. Who would have thought that all you need to make them are a few mashed bananas, some quick oats, and chocolate chips to whip up some crowd-pleasing treats?
These banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a great take on the classic oatmeal cookie. They are sweet and satisfying, but basically guilt-free. These banana oatmeal cookies are naturally gluten-free, flourless, oilless, and are free of eggs, dairy, or added sugars. And with three ingredients, there’s no need for gluten-free flour or to chill the dough.
These gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are also a great mid-day snack, perfect for your kids’ lunch boxes, and make a lovely dessert as well. I love them because they are really filling, and keep you satisfied for hours due to the oats and their slow-releasing energy.
