These flourless, naturally sweetened treats are perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert, combining wholesome ingredients like almond milk, applesauce, and cinnamon to create a moist, flavorful cookie without any added sugar.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup raisins or nuts (your choice)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (e.g., Lily’s brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and unsweetened applesauce. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the banana mixture for a fragrant and delicious base.
  4. Incorporate oats: Add the oats to the banana mixture and mix until fully combined, giving the batter its structure and texture.
  5. Moisten the mixture: Pour in the almond milk to soften the oats and create a slightly moist dough. Then fold in the raisins or nuts and dark chocolate chunks, mixing evenly to distribute all add-ins.
  6. Prepare the baking tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cookies from sticking during baking.
  7. Scoop and shape cookies: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop portions of the mixture onto the baking sheet. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of the spoon or your hand to shape the cookies.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies are firm to the touch and lightly golden on the edges.
  9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve and enjoy: Once cooled, these healthy cookies are ready to be enjoyed as a delicious, sugar-free treat.
