Fair and Square



My mother mentioned finding this recipe (or one like it) on Pinterest. I tried it New Year’s Day. Less than fifteen minutes after I took them out of the oven there wasn’t a crumb left.

Chewy Breakfast Cookies

Preheat oven to 350F. Peel and mash two fully ripe (but not quite black) bananas in a bowl. Add a cup of quick cooking oats and a quarter cup of chocolate chips; stir until completely blended. Drop by tablespoonsful on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Eat while still warm. Makes about a dozen soft, chewy cookies. We each ate four, which worked out to be about 260 calories. They’re not the most delicious cookies I’ve ever made, but they’re egg-free, nut-free and wheat free. If you use gluten-free oats and dairy-free chips, they’ll be gluten- and dairy-free. You could probably substitute raisins or dried cranberries for the chocolate, too.
