Easiest Cookies on the Planet

Nothing is better than pulling a fresh batch of cookies out of the oven.  An added bonus is when the cookies take five minutes to mix together and only require four ingredients.  Sounds too good to be true, right?

The recipe:

4-5 Over-ripe bananas
2 Cups rolled oats
2 Cups quick oats
3/4 - 1 Cup chocolate chips or raisins

Bake on greased cookie sheets at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Makes approximately 30 small cookies. 

In one large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or pastry blender before adding in the oats.  After stirring in the oats, add in the chocolate chips or raisins.  I use a small cookie scoop to ensure all cookies are the same size, and then slightly flatten the mounds of cookie dough before baking.

Kids love these cookies!  The recipe is easy enough that they can help make them, too.  I make this recipe when we have over-ripe bananas that need to be either used quickly or thrown away.

Enjoy!
