Healthy Banana Cookies Recipes

HEALTHY BANANA COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Mash the banana with a fork. Then blend all ingredients (except for the walnuts) in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Using a tablespoon, dollop the cookie batter onto the cookie sheet (1 tbsp per cookie).
• Space the cookies out because the batter spreads. Top with the crushed walnuts if using.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until very lightly browned on the sides. Remove from the oven and let cool COMPLETELY before handling.

HEALTHY OATMEAL BANANA COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork until no longer lumpy. If bananas aren't very ripe, a hand mixer may be used. Stir in oil, oats, chocolate chips, and vanilla.
• Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
• For each cookie, spoon about 2 tablespoons of cookie mixture (or more depending on how big you want the cookie) onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• **IF batter seems a little dry, add a little milk to moisten.
• Variations: Instead of chocolate chips add raisins or craisins. Chopped walnuts are great in these cookies. Or, try coconut oil instead of canola oil.

GRANDMA'S BANANA COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir mashed banana, sour cream, and vanilla together in another bowl.
• Cream margarine and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs. Mix in banana-sour cream mixture until incorporated. Add dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in nuts.
• Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet; cookies do not expand much in the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven, checking occasionally, until bottoms are light golden brown and cookies are set but still a tad soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies to a rack to cool.
• While the cookies are cooling, prepare frosting: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar and reduce heat to low. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in 1/4 cup milk and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Gradually stir in powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistency. If frosting hardens while working, stir in a little bit of milk.
• Spread frosting on cooled cookies.
