Healthy Recipes Healthy Cookie & Dessert Recipes 2-Ingredient Banana Bread Cookies 2.0 (1) 1 Review To create these cookies, all you need are a few overripe bananas and some old-fashioned oats. When combined, they bake into soft, chewy cookies that are especially delicious when warm—and will fill your kitchen with the sweet smell of banana bread. If you're OK with just a few more ingredients, try tossing in some chocolate chips, raisins, a spoonful of peanut butter or a handful of nuts.
