4 ingredient "cookies"

This is another Pinspired recipe that I added my own little twist to.

The basic recipe called for two bananas and one cup of quick oats. As I started I quickly realized this was going to be way too small of a portion so I doubled it. Then added a couple handfuls of chocolate chips. After I got two batches loaded into the oven I had a little left over for a couple more cookies so I. Threw in a handful or so of coconut flakes. PERFECTION!

So here is how the final recipe would look:

4 ripe bananas

2 cups quick oats

1 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup of coconut flakes (maybe more depending on how much of the coconut flavor and texture you want)

Mash and mix the ingredients together then spoon onto a greased cookie sheet (well, I prefer parchment paper). Then press them down to make a more solid cookie. If you don't shape them they will come out looking just like little lumps! (Yes, I did that with the first two sets I made lol)

Bakes at 350 for 15 minutes

They aren't EXACTLY like a cookie but they are really tasty and with out all the sugar a healthier option.

Easy sugar cookies

I wanted to make cookies for Valentine's day today with my boys that they could decorate. Obviously sugar cookies are the go to for that, but I has no desire to deal with the extra work and mess that comes with shapes and frosting! I peeked into my baking cabinet and saw the different sprinkles and decided that would be PERFECT! We could just roll the dough into balls and dip them in the sprinkles and they would be ready to go.

I also added some coconut to the mix of toppings and that ended up being my favorite! YUM!
