Fruits and Oatmeal Cookies

With holiday season just aund the corner, and with the weather getting cooler, baking season is here!

So, here's a recipe for healthy cookies. They are chewy in the middle and a little crunchy on the outside, (unlike those sometimes awful-jaw-breaker-flat oatmeal cookies or almost-soggy kind).   For my taste, these are the perfect oatmeal cookies :D




 

Fruits and Oatmeal Cookies

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

2 cups quick oats (1 minute)

1 cup sunsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup chopped dates

3 ripe bananas

½ cup chopped pecans

1 Tbs. Vanilla

½ tsp. salt

 


 

  1. Preheat oven at  350ºF (180C).
  2. Mash the bananas and add chopped pecans, dates and coconut.
  3. Mix well using the electric mixer.
  4. Add salt, vanilla and oats. Continue mixing.
  5. Take small spoonfuls and place on cookie sheet. (Use PAM on your cookie sheet if needed)
  6. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes. Cool on wire rack and enjoy!
