A delicious, diabetes-friendly, plant-based cookie recipe with only 5 ingredients!
Ingredients
1 cup
Banana (s)
1/4 cup
Medjool date
1 tbsp
Flaxseed meal (ground)
1 tsp
Cinnamon
1 1/2 cup
Rolled oats, dry
Instructions
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine the chopped bananas, pitted (and softened) dates, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon. Blend or stir until the mixture is smooth and wet.
If using a food processor, transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the rolled oats to the wet ingredients, and stir until they’re thoroughly mixed.
Divide the batter into 8 equal portions, and place them on your prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced. Each portion will be roughly 2 heaping tablespoons.
The cookies will not change shape in the oven, so flatten them out and gently shape them into cookies before baking.
Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies’ edges begin to brown slightly.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Transfer the slightly cooled cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
