Fat Free Breakfast Cookies
Hey there, food aficionados! Are you ready to embark on a breakfast adventure that combines taste, health, and convenience? Our Fat Free Breakfast Cookies are the answer. These delectable treats are not only simple to prepare but also offer a guilt-free way to enjoy a delicious morning indulgence.
Equipment
- oven
- 1 large bowl
Ingredients
- 3 large, ripe mashed bananas
- ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups quick-cooking raw oats
- ¼ cup skim milk
- ½ cup raisins (or any other dried fruit you want to add)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or other dry sweetener)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray two baking sheets with cooking spray, or line them with parchment paper; set aside.
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl until very well combined. Let this mixture stand for about 5-10 minutes to let the oats absorb some of the moisture from the wet ingredients.
- Using a heaping spoonful of batter for each cookie, drop batter onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving room for each cookie to “spread” slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.
- *Additional Variations: If you add any variety of chopped nuts, you will have a grab and go breakfast that includes protein as well as fruits and grains (with a very trivial amount of added fat). Dried cranberries are also a wonderful addition (especially in the fall). And cardamom will add an interesting flavor twist if you want to substitute that spice for the cinnamon.

Notes
NOTE: Due to variations in the size of the bananas, I have yielded a different quantity of cookies each and every time that I have made this recipe. Also It is important to note that this is not a dessert type of cookie, so it will not be extremely sweet (like what you are used to eating when you think of a “cookie”.
